Cross-bones
Cross-bones often touch the shadow of mortality and the unsettling influence of others — a mark of warning over what once looked promising. The dream may ask whose ill influence is darkening your prospects, what fear you're entertaining for someone, and whether something that seems harsh might carry, beneath it, a better import.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for cross-bones, 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 cross-bones, foretells you will be troubled by the evil influence of others, and prosperity will assume other than promising aspects.
To see cross-bones as a monogram on an invitation to a funeral, which was sent out by a secret order, denotes that unnecessary fears will be entertained for some person, and events will transpire seemingly harsh, but of good import to the dreamer.
