N

NEEDLE.—Love or family quarrels: (unable to thread needle) baseless suspicions causing trouble.

NEGRO.—Unlucky: a warning of trouble.

NEST.—A good omen: fortunate love: happy family life.

NETTLES.—(Stung by them) Sign that the dreamer will make a bold effort to reach a desired end or gain a desired object; for young people to dream thus is a sign that they are in love and wishful to enter the unknown and, possibly, unhappy state of matrimony.

NEWSPAPERS.—(Reading them) A presage of news from a foreign country.

NIGHT.—To dream of night presages sadness and gloom.

NIGHTINGALE.—(Hearing nightingales sing) Joyfulness, success in business, good crops, a happy marriage to a good and faithful mate: (for a married woman to dream) she will have children who will become great singers.

NIGHTMARE.—To dream of having a nightmare is a sign that the dreamer will be immediately married, and (if a man) his wife will turn out a shrew.

NINE.—To see objects or persons to the number of nine intensifies or multiplies the effect, nine being the superlative of superlatives.

NOISE.—Hearing loud, discordant noises, particularly if their source is not apparent, is a bad omen.
