Loaves

Loaves of bread often touch frugality and sustenance — plain plenty if of bread, rejoicing if of cake, discontent if broken. The dream may ask where daily provision is sustaining you, whether the bread of your life is whole and multiplying or broken and bickered over, and what simple abundance you might recognise at your table.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for loaves, 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 loaves of bread, denotes frugality. If they be of cake, the dreamer has cause to rejoice over his good fortune, as love and wealth will wait obsequiously upon you.

Broken loaves, bring discontent and bickerings between those who love.

To see loaves multiply phenomenally, prognosticates great success. Lovers will be happy in their chosen ones.
