Bosom Definition from Social Science Dictionaries & Glossaries
For a young woman to dream that her bosom is wounded, foretells that some affliction is threatening her.
To see it soiled or shrunken, she will have a great disappointment in love and many rivals will vex her. If it is white and full she is soon to be possessed of fortune. If her lover is slyly observing it through her sheer corsage, she is about to come under the soft persuasive influence of a too ardent wooer.
