Hedges

Hedges often touch the boundaries that shelter or entangle — green ones promising joy and profit, bare or thorny ones bringing distress and snags. The dream may ask what borders define your path, whether the living wall beside you protects and pleases or pricks and hampers, and how a partner or worker might be tangling your way forward.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for hedges, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
