Kid

A kid — a young goat, also a young child — often touches new life and tender beginnings, though Miller shades it toward loosened scruples. The dream may ask what young, fresh, frolicking thing is appearing in your life, where innocence or new growth is stirring, and whether you're tending something vulnerable with the care it asks.

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for kid, 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 a kid, denotes you will not be over-scrupulous in your morals or pleasures. You will be likely to bring grief to some loving heart.

Fontaine, 1862

The Golden Wheel Dream-book

To dream of a young and sportful kid, implies the birth of a child. A young girl who grants her lover too close intimacy before marriage should never dream of the innocent and harmless kid. It is a good dream for married people who desire children.
