οὖλον ὄνειρον: a baneful dream; a deceptive, illusory vision, instead of a kindly dream of warning. cf.

Not all dreams were thought to be significant. cf. “ἦ τοι μὲν ὄνειροι ἀμήχανοι ἀκριτόμυθοι” (cf. v. 246) | “γίγνοντ̓, οὐδέ τι πάντα τελείεται ἀνθρώποισιν”. | “δοιαὶ γάρ τε πύλαι ἀμενηνῶν εἰσὶν ὀνείρων, κτλ. τ” 560 ff.
