Disinherited

Being disinherited often touches the fear of losing your place — cut off from what you assumed was yours by right of belonging. The dream may ask where your standing, in family or in the world, feels suddenly precarious, what conduct or rupture might cost you your inheritance, and how much your security rests on the goodwill of others.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for disinherited, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
