Joy
Joy felt in a dream often touches harmony among friends — though in another reading, intense rapture can presage a coming sorrow. The dream may ask where genuine gladness is binding you to others, whether the happiness you feel is steady or precariously high, and how to hold a moment of real joy without bracing for what follows.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for joy, 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 joy over any event, denotes harmony among friends.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream that you are in the ecstasy of joy at anything that has happened, bodes pain and trouble; something will be sure to occur to make you unhappy.
