Creek

A creek often touches small passages and short journeys — a modest current carrying you into new experience. The dream may ask what brief crossing lies ahead, whether the water runs clear and easy or overflows into sharp, passing trouble, and where a thing you reached for is slipping toward someone else's hands.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for creek, 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 a creek, denotes new experiences and short journeys. If it is overflowing, you will have sharp trouble, but of brief period.

If it is dry, disappointment will be felt by you, and you will see another obtain the things you intrigued to secure.
