August
The high heat of August in a dream often carries a note of strain — unfortunate dealings, misunderstandings in love. It is the heavy, late point of summer, fullness tipping toward fatigue. The dream tends to ask what has overripened in our affairs, and where the warmth has begun to wear rather than warm.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for august, 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 the month of August, denotes unfortunate deals, and misunderstandings in love affairs.
For a young woman to dream that she is going to be married in August, is an omen of sorrow in her early wedded life.
