Learning

Learning often touches the hunger to acquire knowledge and the rise it can bring from obscurity. The dream may ask where a keen interest in understanding is shaping you, whether you're economical enough with your time to advance far, and how the company of learned, prominent people you're drawn toward mirrors your own ambition to grow.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for learning, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
