Cab

To ride in a cab in a dream marks pleasant occupations and an average, comfortable prosperity — being carried easily about one's affairs. The dream tends to touch the smooth passage through ordinary life, neither struggling on foot nor riding in splendour, and to ask whether we are content with the steady, middling way we are travelling.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for cab, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
