Indulgence

Indulgence often touches conduct that invites comment — pleasures pursued in ways others will remark upon. The dream may ask where you're giving in to something that won't escape notice, whether the gratification is worth the talk it stirs, and how the line between private enjoyment and public judgment presses on a choice you're making.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

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

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
