Nets

A net — cast to ensnare — often touches unscrupulous dealings, or, when old and torn, property tangled in debts and attachments. The dream may ask where you're trapping something or someone by less than honest means, and whether the snares around your own holdings are sound or fraying into trouble.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for nets, 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 dream of ensnaring anything with a net, denotes that you will be unscrupulous in your dealings and deportment with others.

To dream of an old or torn net, denotes that your property has mortgages, or attachments, which will cause you trouble.
