Museum

A museum — many scenes and relics gathered to study — often touches a varied, roundabout striving toward your rightful place, with useful knowledge gained along the way. The dream may ask what winding path of experience you're passing through, and whether unconventional learning will serve you better than the usual route.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

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

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
