Cannon-Ball
A cannon-ball in a dream marks secret enemies uniting against us — a heavy, destructive force gathering out of sight. The dream tends to touch the weighty, ready projectile aimed our way, and to ask who is quietly massing against us, and what impact we should brace for before it is launched.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for cannon-ball, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
This means that secret enemies are uniting against you. For a maid to see a cannon-ball, denotes that she will have a soldier sweetheart. For a youth to see a cannon-ball, denotes that he will be called upon to defend his country.
Fontaine, 1862
To see a cannon ball, denotes misfortune.
