Figure

Figures — numbers reckoned and weighed — often touch mental strain and the fear of being the loser in a calculation. The dream may ask where you're anxiously tallying something, what deal or decision might go against you if you're careless, and how the pressure of getting the sums right is wearing on your peace of mind.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for figure, 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 figures, indicates great mental distress and wrong. You will be the loser in a big deal if not careful of your actions and conversation.
