Pictures appearing before you in dreams, prognosticate deceptionand the ill will of contemporaries.To make a picture, denotes that you will engage insome unremunerative enterprise.To destroy pictures, means that you will be pardoned for usingstrenuous means to establish your rights.To buy them, foretells worthless speculation.To dream of seeing your likeness in a living tree, appearing and disappearing,denotes that you will be prosperous and seemingly contented, but therewill be disappointments in reaching out for companionship and reciprocalunderstanding of ideas and plans.To dream of being surrounded with the best efforts of the oldand modern masters, denotes that you will have insatiable longingsand desires for higher attainments, compared to which presentsuccess will seem poverty-stricken and miserable.[156] See Painting and Photographs.
