Warts

Warts — small, stubborn blemishes — often touch an inability to parry thrusts at your honour, with bitter enemies near if seen on others, though some read them as money coming or going. The dream may ask where minor but persistent marks are signalling something, and whether the small flaws clinging to you are weakening your defence.

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for warts, 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

If you are troubled with warts on your person, in dreams, you will be unable to successfully parry the thrusts made at your honor.

To see them leaving your hands, foretells that you will overcome disagreeable obstructions to fortune.

To see them on others, shows that you have bitter enemies near you. If you doctor them, you will struggle with energy to ward off threatened danger to you and yours.

Fontaine, 1862

The Golden Wheel Dream-book

To dream of warts on your left hand is a sign you will receive some money; if they are on the right hand, it foretells that you will pay away money: to dream of a wart on the nose, signifies that you will be distinguished; on the neck or bosom of a female, denotes riches.
