Jury

Sitting on a jury often touches dissatisfaction with your situation and the wish to change it — or, judged yourself, the verdict that decides your fortunes. The dream may ask where you feel restless in your role and seeking to move, whether you sense yourself cleared or condemned, and how others' judgment bears on your prospects.

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for jury, 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 that you are on the jury, denotes dissatisfaction with your employments, and you will seek to materially change your position.

If you are cleared from a charge by the jury, your business will be successful and affairs will move your way, but if you should be condemned, enemies will overpower you and harass you beyond endurance.

Fontaine, 1862

The Golden Wheel Dream-book

If a man dreams he is serving on a jury, it is a sign some friend will ask a favor of him that he will hesitate to grant.
