Parasol
A parasol — shade carried for delicate vanity — often touches illicit enjoyments and flirtations that risk disturbance if discovered. The dream may ask where you're sheltering some private indulgence from the light, and whether the dalliances you're shading from view might cause real trouble should the one who matters most find them out.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for parasol, 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 a parasol, denotes, for married people, illicit enjoyments.
If a young woman has this dream, she will engage in many flirtations, some of which will cause her interesting disturbances, lest her lover find out her inclinations.
[146] See Umbrella.
Fontaine, 1862
If a young woman dreams she has got a new parasol, it predicts for her a new lover: if she imagines she has broken her parasol, her lover (if she has one) will leave her; if not, then some male friend, in whom she placed confidence or derived advantage, will fail her: to a married woman, dreaming of a broken parasol is a very bad omen, as it predicts ruin to her husband.
