Lagoon

A lagoon — still, enclosed, but easy to lose your way in — often touches a whirlpool of doubt and confusion from misused intelligence. The dream may ask where your own cleverness is leading you in circles, what murky, becalmed uncertainty you've drifted into, and whether overthinking is what's left you turning in confused, unmoving water.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for lagoon, 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 lagoon, denotes that you will be drawn into a whirlpool of doubt and confusion through misapplication of your intelligence.
