mule
(heb. pered), so called from the quick step of the animal or its power of carrying loads. it is not probable that the hebrews bred mules, as this was strictly forbidden in the law (lev. 19:19), although their use was not forbidden. we find them in common use even by kings and nobles (2 sam. 18:9; 1 kings 1:33; 2 kings 5:17; ps. 32:9). they are not mentioned, however, till the time of david, for the word rendered "mules" (r.v. correctly, "hot springs") in gen. 36:24 (yemim) properly denotes the warm springs of callirhoe, on the eastern shore of the dead sea. in david's reign they became very common (2 sam. 13:29; 1 kings 10:25). mules are not mentioned in the new testament. perhaps they had by that time ceased to be used in palestine.

Mule
If you dream that your are riding on a mule, it denotes that you are engaging in pursuits which will cause you the greatest anxiety, but if you reach your destination without interruption, you will be recompensed with substantial results.
For a young woman to dream of a white mule, shows she will marry a wealthy foreigner, or one who, while wealthy, will not be congenial in tastes. If she dreams of mules running loose, she will have beaux and admirers, but no offers of marriage.
To be kicked by a mule, foretells disappointment in love and marriage.
To see one dead, portends broken engagements and social decline.

Mule
a hybrid animal, the offspring of a horse and an ass. "The mule is smaller than the horse, and is a remarkably hardy, patient, obstinate, sure-footed animal, living, ordinarily, twice as long as a horse."-McClintock and Strong's Cyclopedia. It was forbidden to the Israelites to breed mules, but sometimes they imported them. It would appear that only kings and great men rode on mules. We do not read of mules at all in the New Testament; perhaps therefore they had ceased to be imported.

MULE is the MULtilingual Enhancement to GNU Emacs.
MULE provides facilities not only for handling text written in many different languages (at least 42 character sets, 53 coding sets, 128 input methods, and 58 languages), but in fact multilingual texts containing several languages in the same buffer. This goes beyond the simple facilities offered by Unicode for representation of multilingual text. MULE also supports input methods, composing display using fonts in various different encodings, changing character syntax and other editing facilities to correspond to local language usage, and more.

Mule
In its common modern meaning, a mule is the offspring of a male donkey and a female horse, which is classified as a kind of F1 hybrid. The reverse, the offspring of a male horse and a female donkey, is called a hinny. The term "mule" (Latin mulus) was formerly applied to the offspring of any two creatures of different species - in modern usage, a "hybrid".
