Shawl
A shawl — wrapped close for warmth — often touches flattery and favour offered you, with sorrow and discomfort in losing it. The dream may ask where comfort and kind attention are being draped around your shoulders, and whether the warmth offered is genuine or a flattery that, slipping away, would leave you cold and possibly jilted.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for shawl, 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 shawl, denotes that some one will offer you flattery and favor.
To lose your shawl, foretells sorrow and discomfort. A young woman is in danger of being jilted by a good-looking man, after this dream.
Fontaine, 1862
If a girl dreams of getting a new shawl, it foretells that she will soon have a new beau who will be very attentive and affable.
