Form

Form — the shape a thing takes — often touches the link between appearance and condition: ill-formed brings disappointment, beautiful brings favour. The dream may ask where you're judging by shape and proportion, whether what you're seeing is well or poorly made, and how the outward form of something mirrors its underlying health.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for form, 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 see anything ill formed, denotes disappointment. To have a beautiful form, denotes favorable conditions to health and business.
