Custard
Custard often touches sweetness and the unexpected guest — a small, rich offering that heralds new company. The dream may ask whom you're being readied to welcome, what stranger might in time become a warm friend, and whether the sweetness ahead is genuine or carries, beneath it, an insipid edge of disappointment.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for custard, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
For a married woman to dream of making or eating custard, indicates she will be called upon to entertain an unexpected guest. A young woman will meet a stranger who will in time become a warm friend. If the custard has a sickening sweet taste, or is insipid, nothing but sorrow will intervene where you had expected a pleasant experience.
