Deck

Standing on a ship's deck often touches your exposure to the larger forces you're sailing through — storm or calm, disaster or clear passage. The dream may ask how rough the seas of your circumstances feel just now, whether your alliances are steadying or imperilling you, and whether the light ahead is distinct enough to steer by.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for deck, 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 being on a ship and that a storm is raging, great disasters and unfortunate alliances will overtake you; but if the sea is calm and the light distinct, your way is clear to success. For lovers, this dream augurs happiness.
