History

Reading history often touches a long, pleasant recreation — the mind ranging over the past at its leisure. The dream may ask where you're drawn to look backward, what restful absorption in old stories is restoring you, and whether dwelling among what's already happened is offering you a calm, unhurried kind of pleasure.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

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

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
