Land

Land — fertile or rocky — often touches the ground of your prospects: rich soil promising good, barren stone warning of failure and despondency. The dream may ask what kind of ground your efforts are rooted in, whether you're glimpsing prosperity like coastline from the sea, and how workable the foundation beneath your hopes really is.

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for land, 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 land, when it appears fertile, omens good; but if sterile and rocky, failure and dispondency is prognosticated.

To see land from the ocean, denotes that vast avenues of prosperity and happiness will disclose themselves to you.

Fontaine, 1862

The Golden Wheel Dream-book

To dream of buying or inheriting land, is an excellent omen, as it foretells health and wealth; but to sell land in your dream, denotes sickness and poverty. If a young man dreams of buying land, it is a sign he will marry a rich wife.
