Mortgage

A mortgage — property pledged against debt — often touches financial upheaval and embarrassing positions if you give one, or wealth and possibility if you hold one. The dream may ask where you've staked something you own against an obligation, and whether the debt hanging over you is closing in or within your power to clear.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for mortgage, 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 give a mortgage on your property, denotes that you are threatened with financial upheavals, which will throw you into embarrassing positions.

To take, or hold one, against others, is ominous of adequate wealth to liquidate your obligations.

To find yourself reading or examining mortgages, denotes great possibilities before you of love or gain.

To lose a mortgage, if it cannot be found again, implies loss and worry.
