These are the entries the historical dream-books record for hay, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
If you dream of mowing hay, you will find much good in life, and if a farmer your crops will yield abundantly.
To see fields of newly cut hay, is a sign of unusual prosperity.
If you are hauling and putting hay into barns, your fortune is assured, and you will realize great profit from some enterprise.
To see loads of hay passing through the street, you will meet influential strangers who will add much to your pleasure.
To feed hay to stock, indicates that you will offer aid to some one who will return the favor with love and advancement to higher states.
Fontaine, 1862
(See Raking and Harvest.) To dream of making hay, signifies success in all your undertakings. This is a good omen to young lovers. To dream you are selling hay is a bad omen, and portends losses in business and dangerous accidents.
