Field

Fields often mirror your sense of possibility—green and growing when life feels open, barren when hope feels distant. Whether plowed fresh or lying fallow, the field asks what you're preparing to cultivate, and whether the season feels right for new beginnings.

What the old dream-books say

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

Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted

To dream of dead corn or stubble fields, indicates to the dreamer dreary prospects for the future.

To see green fields, or ripe with corn or grain, denotes great abundance and happiness to all classes.

To see newly plowed fields, denotes early rise in wealth and fortunate advancement to places of honor.

To see fields freshly harrowed and ready for planting, denotes that you are soon to benefit by your endeavor and long struggles for success.

[70] See Cornfields and Wheat.

Fontaine, 1862

The Golden Wheel Dream-book

(See Meadow and Green.) To dream you are in a ploughed field, forebodes some severe disputes that will be brought upon you by some person who has no children; to dream you are in a meadow covered with flowers, is a very handsome wife, who will bring you lovely children and make you very happy; to a woman, it denotes that she will marry a handsome young fellow, by whom she will have beautiful children, that they will become rich, and live to a good old age.
