Buildings
Large and magnificent buildings with green lawns before them are among the kindest dream images — a long life of plenty, solid and spacious. The dream tends to touch what we have raised and the room it gives us, and to ask what grand structure we are building toward, and whether it promises the abundance it suggests.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for buildings, 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 large and magnificent buildings, with green lawns stretching out before them, is significant of a long life of plenty, and travels and explorations into distant countries.
Small and newly built houses, denote happy homes and profitable undertakings; but, if old and filthy buildings, ill health and decay of love and business will follow.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of seeing a large building is a sign that you will be introduced to some one with whom you will afterward become intimate. To a young lady it predicts that she will have a new admirer.
Anonymous, 1894
Buildings.—To dream of being amongst buildings denotes that you will change your present place of residence, and that you will make many new friends in life; if you are in love, it foretells your sweetheart is about to remove at a distance from you, and that you will be in danger of losing the affections of your lover by new faces.
