Opulence
Fairy-like opulence often touches a warning — luxurious ease that proves illusory, leaving you mated with disappointment, while dreams of solid comfort wake to real pleasure. The dream may ask whether the splendour you're imagining is grounded or a lazy fantasy, and whether you'd do better to replace idle daydreaming with real striving.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for opulence, 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 young woman to dream that she lives in fairy like opulence, denotes that she will be deceived, and will live for a time in luxurious ease and splendor, to find later that she is mated with shame and poverty. When young women dream that they are enjoying solid and real wealth and comforts, they will always wake to find some real pleasure, but when abnormal or fairy-like dreams of luxury and joy seem to encompass them, their waking moments will be filled with disappointments; as the dreams are warnings, superinduced by their practicality being
supplanted by their excitable imagination and lazy desires, which should be overcome with energy, and the replacing of practicality on her base. No young woman should fill her mind with idle day dreams, but energetically strive to carry forward noble ideals and thoughts, and promising and helpful dreams will come to her while she restores physical energies in sleep.
