To dream of being afflicted with the dropsy, denotes illness for a time, but from which you will recover with renewed vigor. To see others thus afflicted, denotes that you will hear from the absent shortly, and have tidings of their good health.
If dreams you that you are sick with dropsy, – means, and in reality you are waited by very serious illness. Most likely, it will be a sincere disease which can result in insanity and even to suicide. But than your life ended: suicide or casual death – you will surely be lost in water (in the sea). Everything who had misfortune to see this dream, have to be extremely careful.
