Complexion

Complexion often touches the face you show the world and how it reflects your inner weather — clear and bright, or clouded and dark. The dream may ask how you feel you're being seen, where vitality or weariness is showing on the surface, and what the mirror of your own face is quietly telling you.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

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

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
