Violets
[vaiəlits]
Unserious Contents or Definition
To see violets in your dreams, or gather them, brings joyous occasions in which you will find favor with some superior person. For a young woman to gather them, denotes that she will soon meet her future husband. To see them dry, or withered, denotes that her love will be scorned and thrown aside.
