Corn

Corn often touches harvest and reward — the husking of what you've grown, the quiet pleasure of plenty gathered in. The dream may ask what you've been tending toward ripeness, where you're sharing in the prosperity of those around you, and whether the abundance you sense is full ears or thin, empty husks.

What the old dream-books say

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

To dream of husking pied ears of corn, denotes you will enjoy varied success and pleasure. To see others gathering corn, foretells you will rejoice in the prosperity of friends or relatives.

Fontaine, 1862

The Golden Wheel Dream-book

To dream that you see corn eared, and gather it, signifies profit and riches; to dream that you see stacks of corn, signifies wealth and abundance to the dreamer; and on the contrary, to see a small quantity, denotes poverty.
