Fair

A fair often touches lively abundance and pleasant company — profitable business, a congenial companion amid the bustle — yet a pretended friend can lurk in the crowd. The dream may ask where enjoyment and gain are gathering for you, whom you're keeping company with, and whether a swindler might be working the same bright grounds.

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for fair, 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 being at a fair, denotes that you will have a pleasant and profitable business and a congenial companion.

For a young woman, this dream signifies a jovial and even-tempered man for a life partner.

Fontaine, 1862

The Golden Wheel Dream-book

To dream you are at a fair, is a bad omen; it denotes that some pretended friend is about to do you an injury; if you are in trade, keep a keen look out, for some swindler will certainly attempt to defraud you.
