Concubine

A concubine often touches the tension between a hidden private life and a public face one struggles to protect. The dream may ask where you fear exposure, what part of your character or affairs you're keeping from the world, and how the strain of a double life is pressing on your sense of standing.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for concubine, 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

For a man to dream that he is in company with a concubine, forecasts he is in danger of public disgrace, striving to keep from the world his true character and state of business.

For a woman to dream that she is a concubine, indicates that she will degrade herself by her own improprieties.

For a man to dream that his mistress is untrue, denotes that he has old enemies to encounter. Expected reverses will arise.
