Dreaming of a Locomotive

A locomotive at full speed foretells a quick rise and travel; a broken or wrecked one brings setbacks and losses.

- A locomotive at great speed: a rapid rise in fortune and travel abroad
- Hearing one approach: news from afar and favorable business changes
- Hearing its whistle: the return of an absent friend, or an unexpected, rewarding offer
- A disabled locomotive: business vexations and trips canceled for lack of means
- A wrecked locomotive: distress and loss of property
How you felt
