Bigamy
Bigamy in a dream touches the strain of divided commitment — promising oneself in two directions at once, and the loss of integrity that follows. It rarely concerns the literal act; more often a sense of being split between obligations. The dream tends to ask where we are trying to belong fully to two things at once.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for bigamy, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
For a man to commit bigamy, denotes loss of manhood and failing mentality. To a woman, it predicts that she will suffer dishonor unless very discreet.
