Gig
A gig — a light carriage for short trips — often touches plans deferred and small journeys interrupted by unwelcome demands. The dream may ask where something you'd looked forward to is being postponed, who is arriving to claim your time, and whether a delay you didn't choose is rearranging the road ahead of you.
A live archive of what the world is dreaming tonight: which symbols are rising, the collective mood, and where the dreams are coming from. Free, always.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for gig, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To run a gig in your dream, you will have to forego a pleasant journey to entertain unwelcome visitors. Sickness also threatens you.
[83] See Cart.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of riding alone in a gig, denotes delay, and that something you expected to happen will be put off: if you imagine you ride in a gig with your sweetheart, it foretells that your marriage day will be postponed, or will be far distant.
