Cedars

Cedars green and shapely in a dream mark pleasing success in an undertaking, while dead or blighted ones mark the reverse. The dream tends to touch the tall, enduring, fragrant tree and its condition, and to ask what long-lived thing we have planted, and whether it stands flourishing or has begun to wither.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for cedars, 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 dream of seeing them green and shapely, denotes pleasing success in an undertaking.

To see them dead or blighted, signifies despair. No object will be attained from seeing them thus.
