Bed Fellow

To dislike one's bed fellow in a dream touches the discomfort of forced closeness — someone with a claim on us making our surroundings uneasy. The dream tends to ask whom we are bound to share our most intimate ground with, and where that nearness chafes rather than comforts.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for bed fellow, 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

To dream that you do not like your bed fellow, foretells that some person who has claims upon you, will censure and make your surroundings unpleasant generally.

If you have a strange bed fellow, your discontent will worry all who come near you. If you think you have any kind of animal in bed with you, there will be unbounded ill luck overhanging you.
