Myrtle

Myrtle — the evergreen of love and marriage — often touches gratified desires and possessing pleasures in bloom, or missed happiness if it's withered. The dream may ask where your longings are being fulfilled and joy is settling on you, and whether careless conduct might let a happiness within reach slip quietly away.

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for myrtle, 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 see myrtle in foliage and bloom in your dream, denotes that your desires will be gratified, and pleasures will possess you.

For a young woman to dream of wearing a sprig of myrtle, foretells to her an early marriage with a well-to do and intelligent man.

To see it withered, denotes that she will miss happiness through careless conduct.

Fontaine, 1862

The Golden Wheel Dream-book

To dream of myrtle, is a sign you will receive a declaration of love. To the married it signifies domestic happiness.
