Aroma

A sweet aroma in a dream is a gentle, favourable thing — often the herald of a small pleasure or gift soon to arrive. The dream tends to ask what good is drifting toward us on the air, and invites us to notice the quiet, pleasing signs before the thing itself appears.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for aroma, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
