Cancer
To have a cancer successfully treated in a dream marks, in the old books, a sudden rise from obscure poverty to wealthy surroundings — a grave thing overcome and transformed. The dream tends to touch the dread illness met and mastered, and to ask what we most fear taking root in us, and what it would mean to see it healed.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for cancer, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To have one successfully treated in a dream, denotes a sudden rise from obscure poverty to wealthy surroundings.
To dream of a cancer, denotes illness of some one near you, and quarrels with those you love. Depressions may follow to the man of affairs after this dream.
To dream of a cancer, foretells sorrow in its ugliest phase. Love will resolve itself into cold formality, and business will be worrying and profitless.
