Mast

A ship's mast often touches long, pleasant voyages, new friends, and gains — unless it belongs to a wreck. The dream may ask what eventful journey is rigged and ready before you, and whether the tall spar carrying your sails stands sound and upright or splintered, forcing you to give over the pleasures you'd anticipated.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

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

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
