Nymph
Nymphs bathing in clear water often touch passionate desire finding ecstatic realization and enchanting company, though seen out of their element they bring disappointment. The dream may ask where a longing is reaching toward fulfilment, and whether the allure drawing you is leading to genuine delight or away from your own better sense.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for nymph, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To see nymphs bathing in clear water, denotes that passionate desires will find an ecstatic realization. Convivial entertainments will enchant you.
To see them out of their sphere, denotes disappointment with the world.
For a young woman to see them bathing, denotes that she will have great favor and pleasure, but they will not rest strictly within the moral code. To dream that she impersonates a nymph, is a sign that she is using her attractions for selfish purposes, and thus the undoing of men.
