Cabin

The cabin of a ship in a dream is an enclosed space afloat on deep water, and the old books read being in one as rather unfortunate — mischief brewing. The dream tends to touch the small, contained quarters we ride out a voyage in, and to ask what is stirring beneath us as we travel, hidden below the deck of awareness.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

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

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
