Jug

A jug — full of clear liquid or empty and broken — often touches your welfare and bonds: full means true friends uniting to help you, empty means estrangement, broken means sickness and failure. The dream may ask who is looking out for you, whether the vessel of your fortunes brims or runs dry, and what your conduct does to your circle.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for jug, 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

If you dream of jugs well filled with transparent liquids, your welfare is being considered by more than yourself. Many true friends will unite to please and profit you. If the jugs are empty, your conduct will estrange you from friends and station.

Broken jugs, indicate sickness and failures in employment.

If you drink wine from a jug, you will enjoy robust health and find pleasure in all circles. Optimistic views will possess you.

To take an unpleasant drink from a jug, disappointment and disgust will follow pleasant anticipations.
