Epaulet

Epaulets — the shoulder marks of rank — often touch honour delayed or attachments unwisely formed around status. The dream may ask where recognition you're due is held back before arriving, whether you're drawn toward someone for their insignia rather than themselves, and what scandal or eventual honour the uniform conceals.

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for epaulet, 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

For a man to dream of wearing epaulets, if he is a soldier, denotes his disfavor for a time, but he will finally wear honors.

For a woman to dream that she is introduced to a person wearing epaulets, denotes that she will form unwise attachments, very likely to result in scandal.
