Fog

Fog in dreams often speaks to uncertainty or confusion in waking life—a season where the path forward feels unclear, or where you can't yet see what's coming. Sometimes the fog itself is protection, a gentle obscuration that keeps you from rushing ahead before you're ready to see clearly.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for fog, 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 traveling through a dense fog, denotes much trouble and business worries. To emerge from it, foretells a weary journey, but profitable.

For a young woman to dream of being in a fog, denotes that she will be mixed up in a salacious scandal, but if she gets out of the fog she will prove her innocence and regain her social standing.
