Divining Rods

A divining rod — the forked stick said to find hidden water — often touches restless searching and dissatisfaction with where you stand. The dream may ask what unseen thing you're trying to locate, whether your discontent is steering you wisely, and what you hope the search will turn up that you don't already have.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
