Flag
A flag in dreams often speaks to belonging and allegiance — the feeling of standing with others, or the question of what cause stirs you enough to raise a standard. Sometimes it marks pride or patriotism, other times a warning that loyalty itself can become entanglement, that what unites can also bind.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for flag, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of your national flag, portends victory if at war, and if at peace, prosperity.
For a woman to dream of a flag, denotes that she will be ensnared by a soldier.
To dream of foreign flags, denotes ruptures and breach of confidence between nations and friends.
To dream of being signaled by a flag, denotes that you should be careful of your health and name, as both are threatened.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream you see a flag waving, betokens great danger from enemies, or sickness. To dream you carry a flag, signifies you will receive some mark of distinction from your fellow-citizens. If a maid dream she is making a flag, it is a sign she will marry a rich officer in the Army or Navy; but if a married woman has this dream, it foretells the birth of a son who will become a great general.
