Judgment Day

Judgment Day often touches ultimate reckoning — well-planned work accomplished if you face it with hope, failure if you meet it with dread. The dream may ask where you feel your whole record being weighed, whether you stand resigned and hopeful or fearful of the verdict, and what final accounting the solemn hour is calling you to face.

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for judgment day, 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

To dream of the judgment day, foretells that you will accomplish some well-planned work, if you appear resigned and hopeful of escaping punishment. Otherwise, your work will prove a failure.

For a young woman to appear before the judgment bar and hear the verdict of ``Guilty,'' denotes that she will cause much distress among her friends by her selfish and unbecoming conduct. If she sees the dead rising, and all the earth solemnly and fearfully awaiting the end, there will be much struggling for her, and her friends will refuse her aid. It is also a forerunner of unpleasant gossip, and scandal is threatened. Business may assume hopeless aspects.
