Dreams dictionary: Miller Dream Interpretation
To dream of securing a patent, denotes that you will be careful and painstaking with any task you set about to accomplish. If you fail in securing your patent, you will suffer failure for the reason that you are engaging in enterprises for which you have no ability. If you buy one, you will have occasion to make a tiresome and fruitless journey. To see one, you will suffer unpleasantness from illness. Medicine To dream that you resort to patent medicine in your search for health, denotes that you will use desperate measures in advancing your fortune, but you will succeed, to the disappointment of the envious. To see or manufacture patent medicines, you will rise from obscurity to positions above your highest imaginings.
