Beads
Beads in a dream — told one by one, or worn — often mark attention from those in high place, and counting them can carry a pure contentment. The dream tends to touch the small, repeated acts of devotion or patience, and to ask what we are numbering through, bead by bead, and what quiet joy it holds.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for beads, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of beads, foretells attention from those in elevated position will be shown you. To count beads, portends immaculate joy and contentment. To string them, you will obtain the favor of the rich.
To scatter them, signifies loss of caste among your acquaintances.
