Nettles
Nettles — that sting the unwary but spare the careful — often touch prosperity if you pass through unstung, discontent if they catch you. The dream may ask where you're moving among things that can hurt if mishandled, and whether you can navigate a prickly situation cleanly or will come away stung and out of sorts.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for nettles, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
If in your dreams you walk among nettles without being stung, you will be prosperous.
To be stung by them, you will be discontented with yourself and make others unhappy.
For a young woman to dream of passing through nettles, foretells that she will be offered marriage by different men, and her decision will fill her with anxious foreboding.
To dream of nettles, is portentous of stringent circumstances and disobedience from children or servants.
