Fakir

A fakir — the wandering ascetic and wonder-worker — often touches uncommon activity and phenomenal, sometimes gloomy, change. The dream may ask what extraordinary upheaval is stirring in your life, whether the strange figure before you signals transformation or foreboding, and how you meet a season that breaks the ordinary rules.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for fakir, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
