Candy
Candy in a dream — made by industry, eaten crisp and new — marks profit from effort and social pleasures, a sign of domestic tranquillity. The dream tends to touch sweetness earned and shared, and to ask what small delights we are making and enjoying, and whether our home holds the easy contentment the candy suggests.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for candy, 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 making candy, denotes profit accruing from industry.
To dream of eating crisp, new candy, implies social pleasures and much love-making among the young and old. Sour candy is a sign of illness or that disgusting annoyances will grow out of confidences too long kept.
To receive a box of bonbons, signifies to a young person that he or she will be the recipient of much adulation. It generally means prosperity. If you send a box you will make a proposition, but will meet with disappointment.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of candy, is a sign of domestic tranquillity.
