Laurel

Laurel — the wreath of victory and fame — often touches success, renown, and new gains in love. The dream may ask where honour and achievement are crowning your efforts, what enterprise feels laden with promise, and whether you can let yourself wear, even briefly, the green wreath that marks a thing accomplished and admired.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
