娱乐性解釋/意思:
If in your dreams you walk among nettles without being stung, you will be prosperous. To be stung by them, you will be discontented with yourself and make others unhappy. For a young woman to dream of passing through nettles, foretells that she will be offered marriage by different men, and her decision will fill her with anxious foreboding. To dream of nettles, is portentous of stringent circumstances and disobedience from children or servants.
