Cheese
Cheese reads sharply across the old books — to eat it touching great disappointment and sorrow in one, profit and gain in trade in another. The dream tends to hold this doubleness, the ripened, pungent thing that nourishes or repels, and to ask what we are taking in that may turn out richer, or more bitter, than expected.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for cheese, 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 eating cheese, denotes great disappointments and sorrow. No good of any nature can be hoped for. Cheese is generally a bad dream.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream you eat cheese, signifies profit and gain in trade; in love, deceit.
