About
Madness
To dream of being mad, shows trouble ahead for the dreamer. Sickness, by which you will lose property, is threatened.
To see others suffering under this malady, denotes inconstancy of friends and gloomy ending of bright expectations.
For a young woman to dream of madness, foretells disappointment in marriage and wealth.
