Anecdote
To tell an anecdote in a dream is to favour charm and lightness — gay company over deeper substance. It can hint at affairs as changeable as our own mood. The dream tends to ask whether we are reaching for the easy pleasure of good talk, and whether there is steadier ground we are passing over.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for anecdote, 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 relating an anecdote, signifies that you will greatly prefer gay companionship to that of intellect, and that your affairs will prove as unstable as yourself.
For a young woman to hear anecdotes related, denotes that she will be one of a merry party of pleasure-seekers.
