Fort

Defending a fort often touches the guarding of your honour and possessions under siege — worry over what's yours, but also the chance of decisive victory. The dream may ask what you feel you must protect, whether you're holding the walls or storming them, and what triumph over your worst adversary might follow a hard defence.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

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

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
