Embankment

Driving or walking an embankment often touches a raised, narrow path toward elevation — trouble looming, yet surmountable through steady passage. The dream may ask what weary climb toward wealth or happiness you're on, whether you ride it fearlessly or trudge it wearily, and how you'll turn the forebodings along the way to useful account.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for embankment, 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 that you drive along an embankment, foretells you will be threatened with trouble and unhappiness. If you continue your drive without unpleasant incidents arising, you will succeed in turning these forebodings to useful account in your advancement. To ride on horseback along one, denotes you will fearlessly meet and overcome all obstacles in your way to wealth and happiness. To walk along one, you will have a weary struggle

for elevation, but will reap a successful reward.
