Observatory

An observatory — surveying the heavens and the wide landscape — often touches swift elevation to prominence and trust, dimmed only if the skies are clouded. The dream may ask where a high, far-seeing vantage is lifting you toward your aims, and whether the view from where you've climbed is clear or veiled against your highest hopes.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for observatory, 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 viewing the heavens and beautiful landscapes from an observatory, denotes your swift elevation to prominent positions and places of trust. For a young woman this dream signals the realization of the highest earthly joys. If the heavens are clouded, your highest aims will miss materialization.
