Blackboard
A blackboard written in white chalk in a dream often carries a message arriving — and the old books read it as ill tidings, word of someone laid low. The dream tends to touch the announcement of news we did not choose, and to ask what is being spelled out for us, and whether we are ready to read it.
A live archive of what the world is dreaming tonight: which symbols are rising, the collective mood, and where the dreams are coming from. Free, always.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for blackboard, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To see in your dreams writing in white chalk on a blackboard, denotes ill tidings of some person prostrated with some severe malady, or your financial security will be swayed by the panicky condition of commerce.
