Douglas Adams (1952 - 2001), "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who dream only by night.

F:

Faggots – A faggot is a bundle of kindling sticks used to start a fire in a grate or on a camping trip. To dream of such kindle is an indication that you may be the target of cruel slander designed to ruin your personal reputation.

Fainting – To dream of fainting, or of seeing another person fainting is a sign that you will experience a strong romantic relationship in the near future—most likely even love.

Fall – Serious troubles and or financial losses are ahead if you dream of falling.

Fan -- If a fan appears in a dream, a hand fan, electric fan, ceiling fan, it is a sign of quarrelling among friends.

Farm -- To dream of being in a farm, or of seeing a farm, in a dream is an omen of future success and riches. Father – To dream of your father alive is a good sign of future joy. To dream of your father as dead foretells future financial losses.

Feather – Feathers of any kind in a dream signify two possibilities; if the feathers are white if mean success in business or a personal project, if the feathers are dark or black, it is a sign of failure in these two areas.

Feet – Seeing feet in a dream is a sign of travel to come. If the feet are wounded, aching from fatigue or dusty from the travel, it means that losses, illness and sorrows will be associated with the travel.

Fencing – If you are fencing in a dream, using a foil expertly, you have an omen of favorably results in a business or personal venture.

Ferret – A ferret, or a European polecat, is a symbol of good luck in a dream.

Fever – If, in a dream, you are passing through a fever it is a sign that you may soon commit an act of sheer excess as the result of bad decisions.

Fiddle – See Musical Instruments below.

Fife – A fife is a small very high-pitched flute. If you hear its sound in a dream you have an announcement of a birth in the immediate or extended family.

Fight – Dreams of fighting, either fighter to fighter or a full-scale riot, actually means a period of peace is ahead.

Figs – Seeing red, ripe figs on a tree is a sign of hope with respect to your own personal struggles. Should your dream contain dried figs it is a signal that you will be invited to an official and formal dinner of some kind. If, however, you dream of eating the figs, then poverty lies ahead.

Figures – You may soon be the victim of fraud if your dream is filled with numbers in any form.

Fingers – If you dream of injuring or cutting your fingers you will soon lose a friend over a major disagreement. If you dream of your hands having more than ten fingers, it is a sign that your own marriage is in danger of failure.

Finger Nails – Seeing fingernails in a dream, plain or highly decorated, is a sign of sufferings, sorrows, quarrels and general wretchedness in the future.

If the fire is in your home hearth and is just beginning to burn, it is a sign that sincere love is directed you way or will come into your life. If the same fire in your home hearth bursts into flame, it means that there will be quarrelling among family members. If you dream of fire and touch the flames without feeling pain, success is in store for you. If you feel pain, it is an omen of failure and great disappointment.

Firearms – If you dream of long guns such as shotguns or rifles, it is a sign of poverty and wretchedness in the future. If you dream of small arms, whether a revolver or a Glock—it is a sign of immediate danger.

Fireworks – A brilliant fire works display such as those seen on July 4th are a sign of a future birth in the immediate family.

If you are tearing the flowers apart it is a sure sign of divorce.

Flute – Hearing or seeing a flute (as with fife above), is a sign of birth in your household.

Fodder – Seeing animal fodder in a dream, either in a barn or rolled in a field, is an omen of prosperity.

Forest – Dire straights and financial losses are ahead if you have a dream in which a dark, dense forest is prominent.

Forehead – (see also Eyes and Eyebrows above). Seeing a face in a dream in which the forehead is prominent is a sign of several things. A low forehead means you may soon be the victim of your own stupidity. If the forehead is high, it is a sign that you have an inner intelligence soon to work to your advantage. If the forehead is low and almost covered with hair, it is a sign that someone hold bitter hatred in their heart towards you—and that it is working against you. If the forehead is of clear white skin, an unclouded future is ahead of you.

Fox -- Dreaming of a red or grey fox is a warning of treachery on the par of a friend. To dream of killing a fox means good luck.

Friend – Dreaming of a friend of either sex means that good times are ahead. If are both of you are having evident good fun together, some sort of trouble is imminent. To see a friend who is dead or dies in the dream, is a sign of financial worries ahead.
