Hips

Hips often touch the body's bearing and the regard, or reproach, tied to its form — admiration that draws upbraiding, narrowness that omens trouble. The dream may ask how you're judging the shape of things, where vanity or disappointment about the body is surfacing, and what ease or unease your sense of physical fullness is stirring.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

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

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
