Brambles

To be entangled in brambles in a dream is to be caught and held by thorns, and the old books read it darkly — lawsuits going against us, sickness, a messenger of trouble. The dream tends to touch the snares that grip and scratch as we try to move, and to ask what tangle we have got caught in and cannot easily tear free of.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

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