Adam and Eve
Adam and Eve summon beginnings, innocence, and the moment things change — the garden before and after. In dreams they can touch the loss of an early hope, or the pull between purity and temptation. The dream tends to reach toward something foundational: what we were, what we risked, and what knowing cost us.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for adam and eve, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of Adam and Eve, foretells that some eventful occasion will rob you of the hope of success in your affairs.
To see them in the garden, Adam dressed in his fig leaf, but Eve perfectly nude save for an Oriental colored serpent ornamenting her waist and abdomen, signifies that treachery and ill faith will combine to overthrow your fortune.
To see or hear Eve conversing with the serpent, foretells that artful women will reduce you to the loss of fortune and reputation.
