Bleating

To hear young animals bleating in a dream often marks new duties and cares arriving — not unpleasant ones, but real claims on us. The dream tends to touch the small, vulnerable things that call for our tending, and to ask what is crying out for our care, and whether we are ready to answer it.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for bleating, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
