🇺🇸 Western · Miller (1901)
Cavalry — To dream that you see a division of cavalry, denotes personal advancement and distinction. Some little sensation may accompany your elevation.
Cossack — To dream of a Cossack, denotes humiliation of a personal character, brought about by dissipation and wanton extravagance.
Sentry — To dream of a sentry, denotes that you will have kind protectors, and your life will be smoothly conducted.
Soldiers — To see soldiers marching in your dreams, foretells for you a period of flagrant excesses, but at the same time you will be promoted to elevations above rivals. To see wounded soldiers, is a sign of the misfortune of others causing you serious complications in your affairs. Your sympathy will outstrip your judgment. To dream that you are a worthy soldier, you will have literal fulfilment of ideals. Women are in danger of disrepute if they find themselves dreaming of soldiers.
