Blushing
To blush in a dream is to be exposed in feeling — and the old books read it as worry and humiliation over false accusation. The dream tends to touch the rush of being seen, the heat of shame or self-consciousness, and to ask where we fear being wrongly judged, and what makes our composure slip.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for blushing, 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 young woman to dream of blushing, denotes she will be worried and humiliated by false accusations. If she sees others blush, she will be given to flippant railery which will make her unpleasing to her friends.
