Curbstone

Stepping up onto a curbstone often touches rise and standing — a clean ascent into esteem, or a fall that reverses your fortunes. The dream may ask where you sense yourself climbing in others' regard, whether your footing on that edge is sure, and what a misstep from such a height might cost you.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for curbstone, 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 stepping on a curbstone, denotes your rapid rise in business circles, and that you will be held in high esteem by your friends and the public.

For lovers to dream of stepping together on a curb, denotes an early marriage and consequent fidelity; but if in your dream you step or fall from a curbstone your fortunes will be reversed.
