Festival
A festival often touches a love of pleasure that turns from the cold realities of life — indulgence that ages you early and leaves you leaning on others. The dream may ask where the pursuit of enjoyment pulls you from harder necessities, whether you'll always be provided for yet never quite self-standing, and what the celebration costs.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for festival, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of being at a festival, denotes indifference to the cold realities of life, and a love for those pleasures that make one old before his time. You will never want, but will be largely dependent on others.
