Chair
A chair in dreams often speaks to your sense of place—whether you feel held, supported, or uncertain of your standing in a situation that matters to you. Perhaps the dream asks: what are you resting in, or what position have you chosen to occupy?
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 chair, 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 chair in your dream, denotes failure to meet some obligation. If you are not careful you will also vacate your most profitable places.
To see a friend sitting on a chair and remaining motionless, signifies news of his death or illness.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream you are sitting on a chair, is a sign you will soon have an increase in your family; if a maiden has this dream it is a sign she soon will be married. To dream you are sitting in a rocking chair, denotes you will very soon better your condition.
