Sweetheart
A sweetheart — the beloved at the centre of longing — often touches joy if pleasing but discontent if otherwise, with sorrow mixed in if they're distressed. The dream may ask where your heart's hopes are gathered, and whether the one you're drawn to brings the gladness you imagine or a doubt that's quietly unsettling you.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for sweetheart, 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 that your sweetheart is affable and of pleasing physique, foretells that you will woo a woman who will prove a joy to your pride and will bring you a good inheritance. If she appears otherwise, you will be discontented with your choice before the marriage vows are consummated. To dream of her as being sick or in distress, denotes that sadness will be intermixed with joy.
If you dream that your sweetheart is a corpse, you will have a long period of doubt and unfavorable fortune.
