Intemperance
Intemperance often touches excess that costs you — overreaching toward foolish knowledge, or in passion toward disease and lost esteem. The dream may ask where you're indulging something past healthy measure, what your immoderation might cost in fortune or affection, and how a lack of restraint strains the regard of those who matter.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for intemperance, 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 being intemperate in the use of your intellectual forces, you will seek after foolish knowledge fail to benefit yourself, and give pain and displeasure to your friends.
If you are intemperate in love, or other passions, you will reap disease or loss of fortune and esteem. For a young woman to thus dream, she will lose a lover and incur the displeasure of close friends.
