Bachelor
The bachelor in a dream stands at a remove from binding ties, and the image cuts differently by who dreams it — for a man, a caution about entanglement; for a woman, a love not quite born of the heart. The dream tends to ask where we stand on commitment, and what we are keeping ourselves free of.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for bachelor, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
For a man to dream that he is a bachelor, is a warning for him to keep clear of women.
For a woman to dream of a bachelor, denotes love not born of purity. Justice goes awry. Politicians lose honor.
