Flour

Flour often touches the humble staple of a frugal but contented life — the plain stuff from which daily bread is made. The dream may ask where simple sufficiency is sustaining you, what pleasant cares fill your domestic days, and whether you can find quiet happiness in modest plenty rather than chasing hazardous, speculative abundance.

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for flour, 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 flour, denotes a frugal but happy life. For a young woman to dream that she sees flour on herself, denotes that she will be ruled by her husband, and that her life will be full of pleasant cares.

To dream of dealing in flour, denotes hazardous speculations.

Fontaine, 1862

The Golden Wheel Dream-book

(See Mill.) To dream that you buy flour is a bad omen, and portends sickness, or the death of a near friend.
