Barley-field
A barley-field full and ripe is among the kindest dream images — the highest desires reached, effort crowned with harvest. Decay in it, though, marks loss. The dream tends to touch fruitfulness and reward, and to ask what we have sown that is coming ripe, and whether we are tending it well to the gathering.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for barley-field, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
The dreamer will obtain his highest desires, and every effort will be crowned with success. Decay in anything denotes loss.
