Opera

The opera — grand, staged, emotionally heightened — often touches entertainment by congenial friends and favourable immediate affairs, with travel sometimes foretold. The dream may ask where rich, shared pleasure is gracing your life, and whether you can let yourself be carried by a season of beauty and good company.

Miller 1901Fontaine 1862

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for opera, 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 attending an opera, denotes that you will be entertained by congenial friends, and find that your immediate affairs will be favorable.

Fontaine, 1862

The Golden Wheel Dream-book

To dream of going to the opera is a sign you will travel: if you hear a new singer that delights you, it foretells that you will make a new acquaintance on some journey: if an engaged young lady dreams of the opera, her wedding journey is thus shadowed forth.
