Hounds
[haundz]
Unserious Contents or Definition
To dream of hounds on a hunt, denotes coming delights and pleasant changes. For a woman to dream of hounds, she will love a man below her in station. To dream that hounds are following her, she will have many admirers, but there will be no real love felt for her. See Dogs.
