Breakfast

Breakfast — fresh milk, eggs, ripe fruit — is the day's first nourishment, and in dreams it favours those engaged in mental work, a good and wholesome start. The dream tends to touch how we begin and what we take in at the outset, and to ask whether we are starting our days fed and ready, or running on empty.

What the old dream-books say

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

Is favorable to persons engaged in mental work. To see a breakfast of fresh milk and eggs and a well filled dish of ripe fruit, indicates hasty, but favorable changes.

If you are eating alone, it means you will fall into your enemies' trap. If you are eating with others it is good.

Fontaine, 1862
