Phosphorus
Phosphorus — that glows briefly then fades — often touches evanescent joys and brilliant but brief success. The dream may ask where a dazzling, short-lived brightness is flaring in your life, and whether you can enjoy a luminous moment for what it is, knowing the cold glow won't last, rather than mistaking the flash for something lasting.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for phosphorus, 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 phosphorus, is indicative of evanescent joys.
For a young woman, it foretells a brilliant but brief success with admirers.
