Admonish

To admonish someone in a dream — gently correcting a child or a younger person — touches our role as guide, and the generosity behind it. It can mark the quiet favour that comes from holding to one's principles. The dream often asks where we are called to steady another, and whether we do it with care.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for admonish, 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

To admonish your child, or son, or some young person, denotes that your generous principles will keep you in favor, and fortune will be added to your gifts.
