Jockey

A jockey — small, skilled, riding another's power to win — often touches an unexpected gift, or being lifted above your station. The dream may ask where a windfall from an unlooked-for source might reach you, whether you're being carried higher than you started, and how mastering speed mirrors a chance to rise through deft handling.

What the old dream-books say

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

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
