To dream that you have the right arm cut off, is significant of the death of a female relative; if both arms are cut off, captivity and sickness; an arm broken, or withered, sorrows, losses, and widowhood; an arm swollen, sudden fortune falling to a dear friend; to dream that you have strong arms, signifies health and happiness; dirty arms, misery; hairy arms, an increase of fortune and family.

To dream the clock strikes, and that you count, but that instant, it stands still, forbade death to some old friend, but if the hand moves again, the party will recover.
