Lobster
A lobster — armoured, clawed, prized at the feast — often touches great favours and riches, though eating it warns of contamination from too-free pleasure-seeking. The dream may ask where rich reward is endowing you, whether the company you indulge with is elevating or corrupting, and how to enjoy a luxury without being soured by it.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for lobster, 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 lobsters, denotes great favors, and riches will endow you.
If you eat them, you will sustain contamination by associating too freely with pleasure-seeking people.
If the lobsters are made into a salad, success will not change your generous nature, but you will enjoy to the fullest your ideas of pleasure.
To order a lobster, you will hold prominent positions and command many subordinates.
