Crape
Crape hung at a door often touches mourning and the sudden weight of loss reaching you. The dream may ask what grief, or what sorrow short of death, is settling over you, where a parting or a dispute is darkening your days, and how you carry news that arrives heavier than you were ready for.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for crape, 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 crape hanging from a door, denotes that you will hear of the sudden death of some relative or friend.
To see a person dressed in crape, indicates that sorrow, other than death, will possess you. It is bad for business and trade. To the young, it implies lovers' disputes and separations.
