To dream of being at a theater, denotes that you will have much pleasure in the company of new friends. Your affairs will be satisfactory after this dream. If you are one of the players, your pleasures will be of short duration. If you attend a vaudeville theater, you are in danger of losing property through silly pleasures. If it is a grand opera, you will succeed in you wishes and aspirations. If you applaud and laugh at a theater, you will sacrifice duty to the gratification of fancy. To dream of trying to escape from one during a fire or other excitement, foretells that you will engage in some enterprise, which will be hazardous.
