Jelly

Jelly — bright, quivering, sweet — often touches pleasant interruptions and the warmth of reunions with friends. The dream may ask where small, agreeable breaks are punctuating your routine, what gatherings of those you love approach, and whether you can let the sweeter moments interrupt your seriousness with a wobble of delight.

What the old dream-books say

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

For a woman to dream of making jelly, signifies she will enjoy pleasant reunions with friends.

Fontaine, 1862

The Golden Wheel Dream-book

To dream of having pots of jelly given to you, or that you are eating jelly, and that plenty of it is around, is a sure sign of long life and good fortune generally; as many pots as are given to you, or as you may have, so many generations will you live to see. The same rule applies to preserved fruits.
