Celebrating New Year's Day in a dream means a short-lived happiness, reminiscing, the passing of sorrow and adversities, or recovering lost money. In the dream, if the new year's day coincides to be on a Friday, it means the spread of evil, corruption, or political turmoils for that year. If it is a Saturday, it means drought, hardships during a difficult year, plagues, and illness. If it is a Sunday, it means a cold winter and a blessed crop for that year. If it is a Monday, it means floods, winter illness, and perhaps a partial loss of the crop. If it is a Tuesday, it means a shortage of rain and a cold winter. If it is a Wednesday, it means scarcity and deficiency of water, and cold weather by the end of summer and beginning of autumn. If it is a Thursday, it means a prosperous year, except for the livestock. This interpretation was given by Ptolemy, the Alexandrian astronomer, 367-283 B.C., during his residence in Egypt.
