Calomel
Calomel, an old harsh medicine, in a dream marks someone seeking to deceive and injure us through the unwitting help of friends. The dream tends to touch the bitter remedy that may itself do harm, and to ask who is working against us under cover of others' good faith, and what we are being given that is not quite cure.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for calomel, 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 calomel shows some person is seeking to deceive and injure you through the unconscious abetting of friends. For a young woman to dream of taking it, foretells that she will be victimized through the artful designing of persons whom she trusts. If it is applied externally, she will close her eyes to deceit in order to enjoy a short season of pleasure.
