Old Man, or Woman
An old man or woman, appearing other than serene, often touches unhappy cares pressing on you. The dream may ask where the figure of age is bringing worry rather than peace, and whether the lined, troubled face you're meeting mirrors burdens of your own that you fear will only deepen with time.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for old man, or woman, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of seeing an old man, or woman, denotes that unhappy cares will oppress you, if they appear otherwise than serene.
