Intestine

Intestines exposed often touch a confrontation with what is most inward and vulnerable — grave situations closing in, sickness affecting your daily dealings, calamity others may censure you for. The dream may ask what deep distress is surfacing, where you feel your innermost workings laid bare, and who refuses the help you hoped for.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

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

To dream of seeing intestines, signifies you are about to be visited by a grave calamity, which will remove some friend. To see your own intestines, denotes grave situations are closing around you; sickness of a nature to affect you in your daily communications with others threatens you. Probable loss, with much displeasure, is also denoted. If you think you lay them upon something, which turns out to be a radiator, and they begin to grow hot and make you very uncomfortable, and you ask others to assist you, and they refuse, it foretells unexpected calamity, which will probably come in the form of a desperate illness or a misfortune for which you will be censured by those formerly your friends. You may have trouble in extricating yourself from an unpromising predicament.
