Tarivishu 23 Women who dream of being Bit by a Snake will likely become pregnant in real life. When men go to sleep, they should not pronounce their names out loud; doing so could signal early death. When seen together they are considered signs that one could encounter such things as Tiger Running, Milk Boiling Over or Dog Urinating upon Milk Pot as well as Bull Bellowers; similarly dreaming of Widow is considered bad omens as it may portend future losses and deaths of loved ones or being born to tiger running or bellowing bull bellowers will bring bad omens upon wakening. If anyone encounters either one should pay attention and not pronounce his/her name aloud; doing so can bring about early death!

Natives have developed an ancient system for finding signs that their journey will be successful, using Sadhana Samhita – or Science of Omens – as an indicator.
