Chameleon
The chameleon, which changes its colour to suit its ground, marks in a dream a sweetheart who may prove faithless — love that shifts its hue with circumstance. The dream tends to touch the creature that is never one fixed colour, and to ask whether someone we trust shows us a true face, or merely matches whatever we wish to see.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for chameleon, 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 seeing your swetheart{sic} wearing a chameleon chained to her, shows she will prove faithless to you if by changing she can better her fortune. Ordinarily chameleons signify deceit and self advancement, even though others suffer.
