Jumping

Jumping over an obstacle often touches the leap toward success — clearing it means triumph in every endeavour, falling back means affairs grown nearly intolerable. The dream may ask what you're gathering yourself to spring over, whether you'll clear the gap or fall short, and how much rests on the timing of a single decisive leap.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for jumping, 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 jumping over any object, you will succeed in every endeavor; but if you jump and fall back, disagreeable affairs will render life almost intolerable.

To jump down from a wall, denotes reckless speculations and disappointment in love.
