Christening

Witnessing a christening in dreams often speaks to new beginnings taking root — not just birth, but the naming and claiming of something tender. Perhaps the dream asks what part of you seeks recognition, or what hope you're finally ready to welcome into the world.

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for christening, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Fontaine, 1862

The Golden Wheel Dream-book

To dream that you are present at a christening, is a good sign, you will get what you hope for; to a maid, it signifies that she will soon be married.
