Acquit

To be acquitted in a dream is to be released from a charge that hung over us — a lifting of guilt, suspicion, or dread. It can mark something long-feared resolving in our favour, though not always without one more obstacle first. The dream often touches our wish to be cleared, and the relief of being found not at fault.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for acquit, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901

Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted
