Carving

To carve a fowl in a dream marks, in the old books, being poorly off in worldly things, companions causing vexation. The dream tends to touch the dividing-up of what little there is, the strain of sharing a thin portion, and to ask where our resources feel stretched, and whether the company around the table eases or adds to the want.

What the old dream-books say

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