Blindfold

To be blindfolded in a dream is to have one's sight deliberately taken, and the old books read it as disturbing elements rising to trouble and disappoint. The dream tends to touch enforced not-seeing, the unease of being kept in the dark, and to ask what is being hidden from us, and by whom.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for blindfold, 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

For a woman to dream that she is blindfolded, means that disturbing elements are rising around to distress and trouble her. Disappointment will be felt by others through her.
