Old Man
An old man in dreams often carries the weight of accumulated wisdom or the quiet ache of time passing — perhaps a part of yourself that knows more than you've let yourself admit. The question is whether this figure feels like a guide offering steady counsel, or a reminder of something you've been putting off too long.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for old man, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of seeing a man bowed down with age is a sign of good luck in business, and to a politician it denotes advancement. This is not a good dream for females, for to them it denotes want.
