Hearse

A hearse often touches endings and uncongenial heaviness — discord in the home, faltering business, the nearness of loss or sorrow. The dream may ask where something feels like it's being carried to its grave, what decline you sense approaching, and whether a hearse crossing your path marks a bitter adversary you'll have to face down.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for hearse, 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 a hearse, denotes uncongenial relations in the home, and failure to carry on business in a satisfactory manner. It also betokens the death of one near to you, or sickness and sorrow.

If a hearse crosses your path, you will have a bitter enemy to overcome.
