Banquet

A banquet is abundance shared — friends gathered, favours waiting, plenty laid out among gaily-dressed company. It is a warm omen in the old books. The dream tends to touch fellowship and the pleasure of being well surrounded, and to ask whether we are letting ourselves be fed by good company.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

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

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901

Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted

It is good to dream of a banquet. Friends will wait to do you favors. To dream of yourself, together with many gaily-attired guests, eating from costly plate and drinking wine of fabulous price and age, foretells enormous gain in enterprises of every nature, and happiness among friends.

To see inharmonious influences, strange and grotesque faces or empty tables, is ominous of grave misunderstandings or disappointments.
