Fish-pond

A fish-pond often touches contained depths and what they hold — clear and stocked, it promises profit and pleasure; muddy or empty, it warns of illness or enemies. The dream may ask what your inner reserves look like, whether the waters you tend run clean and full, and what you'd find if you fell in and looked beneath the surface.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for fish-pond, 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 a fish-pond, denotes illness through dissipation, if muddy. To see one clear and well stocked with fish, portends profitable enterprises and extensive pleasures. To see one empty, proclaims the near approach of deadly enemies.

For a young woman to fall into a clear pond, omens decided good fortune and reciprocal love. If muddy, the opposite is foretold.
