Bay Tree
The bay tree, evergreen and crowned in tradition, marks in dreams a palmy leisure — restful diversions, knowledge gathered in a pause from work. The dream tends to touch the season of ease that follows effort, and to ask whether we are allowing ourselves the rest and quiet flourishing it offers.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for bay tree, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
A palmy leisure awaits you in which you will meet many pleasing varieties of diversions. Much knowledge will be reaped in the rest from work. It is generally a good dream for everybody.
