Clams
[klæmz]
Unserious Contents or Definition
To dream of clams, denotes you will have dealings with an obstinate but honest person. To eat them, foretells you will enjoy another's prosperity. For a young woman to dream of eating baked clams with her sweetheart, foretells that she will enjoy his money as well as his confidence.
