Comedy
Comedy often touches the lightness we reach for — pleasures that are pleasant but short-lived, laughter that eases the weight for a while. The dream may ask where you're seeking relief in easy amusement, and whether the playful, hopeful mood it brings is rest you've earned or distraction you're choosing.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for comedy, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of being at a light play, denotes that foolish and short-lived pleasures will be indulged in by the dreamer.
To dream of seeing a comedy, is significant of light pleasures and pleasant tasks.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream you see a comedy, or farce, is a good omen. To the business man it betokens success, and to the maiden a speedy marriage to the one she loves.
