Mosquito

A mosquito — small, persistent, draining blood — often touches the vain struggle to stay safe from the sly attacks of secret enemies. The dream may ask what petty, biting harassment is wearing at your patience and fortune, and whether, by swatting down the small tormentors, you might overcome the obstacles and find peace.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for mosquito, 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
