Dowry
A dowry often touches the provision you're given to start from — and the cold exposure of being denied it. The dream may ask what foundation you're counting on to set out into the world, whether the support you expected arrives or leaves you depending on a hard, indifferent world, and how secure your launching point truly feels.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for dowry, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream that you fail to receive a dowry, signifies penury and a cold world to depend on for a living. If you receive it, your expectations for the day will be fulfilled. The opposite may be expected if the dream is superinduced by the previous action of the waking mind.
