Dominoes

Dominoes often touch the chain of small consequences — pieces set in line, where one fall tips the next. The dream may ask where a careless move might topple more than you intend, whether the company and pleasures absorbing you are discreet or dissolute, and how your choices in private might bring distress to those who care for you.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for dominoes, 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 playing at dominoes, and lose, you will be affronted by a friend, and much uneasiness for your safety will be entertained by your people, as you will not be discreet in your affairs with women or other matters that engage your attention.

If you are the winner of the game, it foretells that you will be much courted and admired by certain dissolute characters, bringing you selfish pleasures, but much distress to your relatives.
