Fables

Fables often touch the pleasures of story and the moral threads woven through them — a literary, romantic cast of mind, or deepening devotion. The dream may ask where invented tales are nourishing you, what truth you're drawn to dress in narrative, and whether the stories you tell stir romance, faith, or the delight of meaning made vivid.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for fables, 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 reading or telling fables, denotes pleasant tasks and a literary turn of mind. To the young, it signifies romantic attachments.

To hear, or tell, religious fables, denotes that the dreamer will become very devotional.
