Thorns
Thorns — sharp guards on the stem — often touch dissatisfaction and evil surrounding every effort to advance, with secret enemies if they hide beneath green foliage. The dream may ask where what looks pleasant and flourishing conceals something that wounds, and whether the resistance to your progress is open or hidden among the leaves.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for thorns, 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 thorns, is an omen of dissatisfaction, and evil will surround every effort to advancement.
If the thorns are hidden beneath green foliage, you prosperity will be interfered with by secret enemies.
Fontaine, 1862
For a girl to dream of accidentally sticking a thorn into her finger is a sign she will have a ring presented to her, probably a wedding ring: if a married woman dreams this, some outsider will make love to her by first offering a ring. If any one dreams of sticking a thorn in either foot or leg, it foretells improper intimacy with the opposite sex which will not end in disgrace, but in marriage.
