Jolly
Jollity among companions often touches realized pleasure — satisfaction from others' good behaviour and successful affairs — shadowed only if a rift breaks the merriment. The dream may ask where shared cheer is gladdening you, what success the laughter accompanies, and whether a small crack hints at worry threaded through the good times.
A live archive of what the world is dreaming tonight: which symbols are rising, the collective mood, and where the dreams are coming from. Free, always.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for jolly, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream that you feel jolly and are enjoying the merriment of companions, you will realize pleasure from the good behavior of children and have satisfying results in business. If there comes the least rift in the merriment, worry will intermingle with the success of the future.
Fontaine, 1862
If you dream you are in company and feel particularly hilarious, or jolly, it is a sign of sorrow; mark well who it is that contributes most to your mirth, for he or she may cause you pain. If a girl dreams this of a young man, let her beware of him for a gay seducer.
