Fisherman

A fisherman — patient, hopeful, casting toward the unseen — often touches nearing times of greater prosperity than you've known. The dream may ask where steady, expectant effort is bringing you toward a fuller catch, what you're waiting on the deep to yield, and whether you trust the slow work of fishing to reward you in time.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

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

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
