Adieu
To bid adieu in a dream is to mark a parting, and the spirit of it colours the meaning. Cheerful farewells can promise warm visits and good company; sorrowful ones can carry the ache of loss and leaving. The dream tends to ask what we are saying goodbye to, and whether the parting frees us or grieves us.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for adieu, 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 bidding cheerful adieus to people, denotes that you will make pleasant visits and enjoy much social festivity; but if they are made in a sad or doleful strain, you will endure loss and bereaving sorrow.
If you bid adieu to home and country, you will travel in the nature of an exile from fortune and love.
To throw kisses of adieu to loved ones, or children, foretells that you will soon have a journey to make, but there will be no unpleasant accidents or happenings attending your trip.
