Despair
Despair often touches the heavy, cruel vexations of the working world pressing in without relief. The dream may ask where hope feels worn thin for you, whether the distress is your own or that of someone close whose unhappy position you're carrying, and what it would take to find footing again beneath the weight.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for despair, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To be in despair in dreams, denotes that you will have many and cruel vexations in the working world.
To see others in despair, foretells the distress and unhappy position of some relative or friend.
