Molasses

Molasses — thick, dark, slow sweetness — often touches pleasant hospitality extended to you and fortunate surprises, though eating it can shade toward disappointment in love. The dream may ask what warm welcome is being offered you, and whether the sweetness on offer is a genuine gift or something that will cling and complicate.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for molasses, 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 molasses, is a sign that some one is going to extend you pleasant hospitality, and, through its acceptance, you will meet agreeable and fortunate surprises. To eat it, foretells that you will be discouraged and disappointed in love. To have it smeared on your clothing, denotes you will have disagreeable offers of marriage, and probably losses in business.
