Cask

A cask filled in a dream marks prosperous times and feasting, while an empty one marks a life void of joy or consolation. The dream tends to touch the vessel of plenty and what it holds in store, and to ask whether the great barrel of our resources and comforts stands brimming or drained, and what mood that fills us with.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for cask, 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 one filled, denotes prosperous times and feastings. If empty, your life will be void of any joy or consolation from outward influences.
