Girdle

A girdle that presses often touches constraint and the influence of designing people drawing tight around you. The dream may ask where you feel bound or steered by others' wishes, whether you're striving for wealth over honour, and what the thing cinched around you signifies about the pressures shaping your choices.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for girdle, 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 wearing a girdle, and it presses you, denotes that you will be influenced by designing people.

To see others wearing velvet, or jeweled girdles, foretells that you will strive for wealth more than honor.

For a woman to receive one, signifies that honors will be conferred upon her.
