Age
To dream of age — one's own or the idea of it — often stirs feeling about time, capability, and how we are seen. It can carry worry about undertakings faltering, or friction with those close to us over how we hold our views. The dream tends to ask how we are reckoning with the passing of time.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for age, 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 age, portends failures in any kind of undertaking.
To dream of your own age, indicates that perversity of opinion will bring down upon you the indignation of relatives.
WHAT'S IN A DREAM. 32 For a young woman to dream of being accused of being older than she is, denotes that she will fall into bad companionship, and her denial of stated things will be brought to scorn. To see herself looking aged, intimates possible sickness, or unsatisfactory ventures. If it is her lover she sees aged, she will be in danger of losing him.
