Crippled

The maimed and crippled often touch distress, scarcity, and the suffering of those with less. The dream may ask where you're being called to notice the hardship around you, what generosity is being asked of you, and whether a dullness or lack you feel in your own affairs is mirroring a wider hard season.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for crippled, 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 the maimed and crippled, denotes famine and distress among the poor, and you should be willing to contribute to their store. It also indicates a temporary dulness in trade.
