Jay-bird

A jay-bird — bright, bold, talkative — often touches pleasant visits and the chatter of friends, though it can shade toward unfruitful tasks or domestic upset. The dream may ask what sociable comings and goings grace your days, where lively gossip enlivens or unsettles you, and whether the noisy company brings pleasure or vicissitude.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

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

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
