Paunch
A large paunch — the belly of excess — often touches wealth paired with a total absence of refinement, while a shrivelled one brings illness and reverses. The dream may ask where material plenty has come without grace, and whether the fullness you've gained is a coarse, indulgent prosperity or whether a wasting away signals harder times.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for paunch, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To see a large paunch, denotes wealth and the total absence of refinement.
To see a shriveled paunch, foretells illness and reverses.
