Nobility

Associating with nobility often touches misdirected aspirations — a preference for show and pleasure over the deeper development of mind and character. The dream may ask where you're drawn to status and surface, and whether you're choosing glitter over genuine merit in the people and pursuits you let close to you.

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for nobility, 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 associating with the nobility, denotes that your aspirations are not of the right nature, as you prefer show and pleasures to the higher development of the mind.

For a young woman to dream of the nobility, foretells that she will choose a lover for his outward appearance, instead of wisely accepting the man of merit for her protector.

Fontaine, 1862

The Golden Wheel Dream-book

Should anybody be so foolish as to dream that they are created a Duke, an Earl, or that they have conferred upon them any patent of nobility, it is a sign of shiftlessness and poverty. If a girl dreams that a lord is in love with her, she will be apt to marry a shiftless and needy fellow.
