Accepted
To be accepted in a dream — a proposal agreed, a love returned — touches our deep wish to be received and chosen. It can mark a turn toward success in something that looked uncertain, or the warmth of belonging. The dream tends to ask where we are seeking a yes, and what it would mean to finally hear one.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for accepted, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
For a business man to dream that his proposition has been accepted, foretells that he will succeed in making a trade, which heretofore looked as if it would prove a failure.
For a lover to dream that he has been accepted by his sweetheart, denotes that he will happily wed the object of his own and others' admiration.
WHAT'S IN A DREAM. 25 [6] If this dream has been occasioned by overanxiety and weakness, the contrary may be expected. The elementary influences often play pranks upon weak and credulous minds by lying, and deceptive utterances. Therefore the dreamer should live a pure life, fortified by a strong will, thus controlling his destiny by expelling from it involuntary intrusions.
