Income

Income often touches what comes to you to live on — and the temptations and disappointments tied to it. The dream may ask where you might be tempted to deceive over money and trouble those near you, whether what you receive feels sufficient, and how the flow, or shortfall, of what sustains you is shaping your dealings with others.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

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

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
