Old Woman
An old woman in dreams often carries the weight of wisdom earned through time, or the tenderness of care that asks nothing in return. She may represent guidance you've been seeking, or perhaps the part of yourself that already knows the answer but hasn't yet been given permission to speak.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for old woman, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of an aged woman is generally a good omen, as it shadows forth domestic happiness: to a married woman such a dream foretells the birth of a child: to a young girl, that she will have an offer of marriage.
