Carriage
A carriage often gestures toward movement through social worlds—visits made, positions held, the machinery of connection and status. Whether it carries you smoothly or breaks beneath you may reflect less about fortune than about how supported you feel by the structures meant to bear you forward.
A live archive of what the world is dreaming tonight: which symbols are rising, the collective mood, and where the dreams are coming from. Free, always.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for carriage, 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 a carriage, implies that you will be gratified, and that you will make visits.
To ride in one, you will have a sickness that will soon pass, and you will enjoy health and advantageous positions.
To dream that you are looking for a carriage, you will have to labor hard, but will eventually be possessed with a fair competency.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream you ride in a carriage, is a sign of success in business and love. If the carriage breaks down, it is a sign you will meet with sudden losses.
