Morgue

A morgue — searched for someone among the dead — often touches the shock of news of a relative or friend's death, or sorrow seen on a wide scale. The dream may ask whose loss you most fear, and how the cold, stark confrontation with mortality is stirring grief or dread about those you hold close.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for morgue, 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 that you visit a morgue searching for some one, denotes that you will be shocked by news of the death of a relative or friend.

To see many corpses there, much sorrow and trouble will come under your notice.
