For persons dreaming of peacocks, there lies below the brilliant and flashing ebb and flow of the stream of pleasure and riches, the slums of sorrow and failure, which threaten to mix with its clearness at the least disturbing influence. For a woman to dream that she owns peacocks, denotes that she will be deceived in her estimate of man's honor. To hear their harsh voices while looking upon their proudly spread plumage, denotes that some beautiful and well appearing person will work you discomfort and uneasiness of mind.
