Idols

Worshipping idols often touches misplaced devotion — letting petty things tyrannize you, slowing your rise; while breaking them signals mastery over self. The dream may ask what false or trivial thing you've been bowing to, where small obsessions are blocking your path to honour, and whether you can shatter what holds you and rise.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for idols, 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

Should you dream of worshiping idols, you will make slow progress to wealth or fame, as you will let petty things tyrannize over you.

To break idols, signifies a strong mastery over self, and no work will deter you in your upward rise to positions of honor.

To see others worshiping idols, great differences will rise up between you and warm friends.

To dream that you are denouncing idolatry, great distinction is in store for you through your understanding of the natural inclinations of the human mind.
