Entrails
Entrails — the body laid open to its raw interior — often touch a confrontation with what is deepest and hardest to face. The dream may ask what hidden inner reality is being exposed, where misery or the overthrow of an enemy is being wrought from the inside out, and what raw truth beneath the surface is forcing itself into view.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for entrails, 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 the human entrails, denotes horrible misery and despair, shutting out all hope of happiness.
To dream of the entrails of a wild beast, signifies the overthrow of your mortal enemy.
To tear the entrails of another, signifies cruel persecutions to further your own interests.
To dream of your own entrails, the deepest despair will overwhelm you.
To dream of the entrails of your own child, denotes that the child's, or your own, dissolution is at hand.

Fontaine, 1862
This is a good dream for the poor, but to the rich it portends loss of riches. To sweethearts and beaus it shows that they will be happy in their loves.
