Cushion

Reclining on silken cushions often touches ease — comfort enjoyed, perhaps at another's expense. The dream may ask where your softness is being purchased by someone else's labour, whether the luxury around you is earned or borrowed, and how prosperity and indulgence are quietly mingling in the life you're settling into.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for cushion, 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 reclining on silken cushions, foretells that your ease will be procured at the expense of others; but to see the cushions, denotes that you will prosper in business and love-making.

For a young woman to dream of making silken cushions, implies that she will be a bride before many months.
