Neighbor

A neighbor — close at hand but not of your household — often touches profitable hours lost to useless strife and gossip, with dissension if they appear angry. The dream may ask where petty quarrels with those nearby are wasting your time, and whether the friction at your fences is costing you more than the disputes could ever be worth.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

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