Fever

Fever often touches a feverish fixation on trifles while the best of life slips past — energy burning in the wrong place. The dream may ask where worry over small things is consuming you, what grounding work you're neglecting in the heat of it, and how to cool the restless preoccupation and turn back toward what actually sustains you.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for fever, 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 that you are stricken with this malady, signifies that you are worrying over trifling affairs while the best of life is slipping past you, and you should pull yourself into shape and engage in profitable work.

To dream of seeing some of your family sick with fever, denotes temporary illness for some of them.
