Skull
A skull grinning at you often touches domestic quarrels and a shrinking business, with injury from a favoured-over friend or your own remorse. The dream may ask where a stark reminder of mortality or loss is leering at your affairs, and whether the bare death's-head marks discord at home, betrayal, or a regret you can't put down.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for skull, 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 skulls grinning at you, is a sign of domestic quarrels and jars. Business will feel a shrinkage if you handle them.
To see a friend's skull, denotes that you will receive injury from a friend because of your being preferred to him.
To see your own skull, denotes that you will be the servant of remorse.
