Ivory

Ivory — smooth, white, and prized — often touches favourable fortune: financial success, unalloyed pleasure, happy love. The dream may ask where something rare and valuable is coming into your life, what fortunate turn in business or affection you sense, and whether you can welcome a clean, bright run of good luck taking shape.

What the old dream-books say

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

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
