娱乐性解释：
To dream of a miser, foretells you will be unfortunate in finding true happiness owing to selfishness, and love will disappoint you sorely. For a woman to dream that she is befriended by a miser, foretells she will gain love and wealth by her intelligence and tactful conduct. To dream that you are miserly, denotes that you will be obnoxious to others by your conceited bearing To dream that any of your friends are misers, foretells that you will be distressed by the importunities of others.
