Necklace

A necklace — adornment clasped at the throat — often touches, for a woman, a loving husband and a beautiful home in the receiving, or bereavement in the losing. The dream may ask where affection and security are being placed around you like a gift, and whether you can hold what's precious without the early grief of seeing it slip away.

What the old dream-books say

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

For a woman to dream of receiving a necklace, omens for her a loving husband and a beautiful home.

To lose a necklace, she will early feel the heavy hand of bereavement.

Fontaine, 1862

The Golden Wheel Dream-book

For a girl to dream that a gentleman presents her with a necklace, is a sign that some one meditates an attempt to seduce her: if a married woman dreams that her husband gives her a necklace, it shows that she will soon be in the family way.
