Jig
A jig — a quick, lively dance — often touches cheerful occupation and light pleasure, though it can tip toward foolish worry or undignified amusement. The dream may ask where merriment and easy enjoyment lift you, whether the lightness you're indulging is wholesome or a little beneath you, and what hopeful spirit is moving through you.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for jig, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dance a jig, denotes cheerful occupations and light pleasures.
To see negroes dancing a jig, foolish worries will offset pleasure.
To see your sweetheart dancing a jig, your companion will be possessed with a merry and hopeful disposition.
To see ballet girls dancing a jig, you will engage in undignified amusements and follow low desires.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of dancing a jig with a lady is a sign she is in love with you, or is pleased with you; and if you like her you may go in at once for her favor with much confidence. The omen is the same to a girl who dreams of jigging with a young man.
