Anus • Pulling something from one’s anus: Will get stuck or become needy. • Going into an anus: Wrong approach or running after a difficult matter, because that duct is sterile. • Seeing a person’s anus: Will see a gloomy face, and the owner of such a face will spend as much money as blood or excrement coming out of that anus the dreamer had seen. If such a person had passed the stool in the proper place, the money will be spent in the right direction, and the reverse is true. • Seeing one’s anus has been obstructed: Will die. • Seeing a young man’s anus: Will be defeated by him. • Seeing the anus of a well-known old man: This very man will mislead you.
