Bookcase
A bookcase holds knowledge ordered and at hand, and in dreams a full one marks learning joined to work and pleasure, while empty shelves imply the reverse — capacity without content. The dream tends to touch what we have gathered and shelved, and to ask whether our store of understanding stands full or bare.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for bookcase, 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 a bookcase in your dreams, signifies that you will associate knowledge with your work and pleasure. Empty bookcases, imply that you will be put out because of lack of means or facility for work.
