Ugly

Ugliness — feeling oneself unlovely — often touches a difficulty with a sweetheart and depressed prospects, with offensive conduct breaking a romance for a young woman. The dream may ask where a poor sense of yourself is souring how you treat someone you love, and whether feeling unworthy is driving the very behaviour that risks the bond.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for ugly, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901

Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted

To dream that you are ugly, denotes that you will have a difficulty with your sweetheart, and your prospects will assume a depressed shade.

If a young woman thinks herself ugly, she will conduct herself offensively toward her lover, which will probably cause a break in their pleasant associations.
