Newspaper

A newspaper — the public airing of what was private — often touches frauds detected and a reputation affected. The dream may ask where something you'd kept quiet risks being printed for all to see, and whether the wider exposure coming your way will catch you in something or simply open new horizons.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

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

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
