Coxcomb
A coxcomb — the vain, strutting fool — often touches a low or petty state of mind, attention caught on surface and self-display. The dream may ask where your thoughts have shrunk to the trivial or vain, and what it would take to lift your attention toward something nobler and more worthy of you.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for coxcomb, 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 a coxcomb, denotes a low state of mind. The dreamer should endeavor to elevate his mind to nobler thoughts.
