Croup
A child's croup often touches sudden fright over a loved one's wellbeing — a sharp alarm that proves, more often than not, slight. The dream may ask where you're gripped by fear for someone vulnerable, and whether the danger is as grave as it feels or a passing scare beneath a deeper current of health and harmony.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for croup, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream that your child has the croup, denotes slight illness, but useless fear for its safety. This is generally a good omen of health and domestic harmony.
