Gravel

Gravel often touches barren, unfruitful ground — schemes that won't take root, or, in clean heaps, the promise of a pleasant journey. The dream may ask where your enterprises feel stony and unyielding, what you're trying to grow in soil that won't sustain it, and whether the loose ground ahead points to loss or to travel worth taking.

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for gravel, 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 gravel, denotes unfruitful schemes and enterprises.

If you see gravel mixed with dirt, it foretells you will unfortunately speculate and lose good property.

Fontaine, 1862

The Golden Wheel Dream-book

To see heaps of clean gravel, denotes that you will soon go a journey by land, which will be a pleasant or profitable one.
