Lawns

Well-kept lawns often touch occasions for joy and prosperity — open, ordered green where merriment and successful affairs gather. The dream may ask where ease and good fortune are spread before you, what gladness you're stepping into, and whether the grass underfoot stays lush or, dead and marshy, warns of quarrels creeping in.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for lawns, 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 walking upon well-kept lawns, denotes occasions for joy and great prosperity.

To join a merry party upon a lawn, denotes many secular amusements, and business engagements will be successfully carried on.

For a young woman to wait upon a green lawn for the coming of a friend or lover, denotes that her most ardent wishes concerning wealth and marriage will be gratified. If the grass be dead and the lawn marshy, quarrels and separation may be expected.

To see serpents crawling in the grass before you, betrayal and cruel insinuations will fill you with despair.
