About
Linen
To see linen in your dream, augurs prosperity and enjoyment.
If a person appears to you dressed in linen garments, you will shortly be the recipient of joyful tidings in the nature of an inheritance.
If you are apparelled in clean, fine linen, your fortune and fullest enjoyment in life is assured. If it be soiled, sorrow and ill luck will be met with occasionally, mingled with the good in your life.
