Carpet

A carpet in a dream marks profit and wealthy friends to aid us in need; to walk on one marks prosperity. The dream tends to touch the comfort underfoot that signals means and security, and to ask what soft ground we are walking on, and who among our connections would help cushion us if we stumbled.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
