Affluence

Affluence in a dream is the feeling of plenty and ease — fortunate ventures, the company of the comfortable. It can carry genuine promise, or the slightly unreal shimmer of a wished-for life. The dream often asks what abundance would mean to us, and whether what we are chasing is wealth or what we imagine it brings.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for affluence, 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 dream that you are in affluence, foretells that you will make fortunate ventures, and will be pleasantly associated with people of wealth. To young women, a vision of weird and fairy affluence is ominous of illusive and evanescent pleasure. They should study more closely their duty to friends and parents. After dreams of this nature they are warned to cultivate a love for home life.
