Calm

Calm seas in a dream mark the successful ending of a doubtful undertaking, and to feel calm and happy marks a long, well-spent life. The dream tends to touch the stillness that comes after struggle, the water gone smooth, and to ask where we have found, or might find, the peace that settles once a hard thing is safely through.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

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

To see calm seas, denotes successful ending of doubtful undertaking.

To feel calm and happy, is a sign of a long and well-spent life and a vigorous old age.
