Almanac
An almanac is the reckoning of days and signs, and in dreams it can carry the sense of variable fortunes and pleasures that prove illusive. To pore over its signs can mark being caught up in small matters that eat our time. The dream tends to ask whether we are losing the larger picture to a tangle of minor concerns.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for almanac, 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 an almanac, means variable fortunes and illusive pleasures. To be studying the signs, foretells that you will be harassed by small matters taking up your time.
