Balcony
A balcony was long tied to parting—lovers making their sad farewells, or word arriving of friends far away. To stand on one is to be half-departed already. Sometimes the dream asks what separation you feel approaching, or whose absence has begun to weigh quietly on you.
A live archive of what the world is dreaming tonight: which symbols are rising, the collective mood, and where the dreams are coming from. Free, always.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for balcony, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
For lovers to dream of making sad adieus on a balcony, long and perhaps final separation may follow. Balcony also denotes unpleasant news of absent friends.
