Poppies
Poppies — bright but narcotic — often touch a season of seductive pleasures and flattering business resting on unstable foundations. The dream may ask where alluring delights and easy flattery are drawing you, and whether the dreamy, intoxicating charm you're under is built on solid ground or will dissolve the moment you lean on it.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for poppies, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
Poppies seen in dreams, represents a season of seductive pleasures and flattering business, but they all occupy unstable foundations.
If you inhale the odor of one, you will be the victim of artful persuasions and flattery.
(The mesmeric influence of the poppy inducts one into strange atmospheres, leaving materiality behind while the subjective self explores these realms as in natural sleep; yet these dreams do not bear truthful warnings to the material man. Being, in a manner, enforced.)
