Orang-utang

An orang-utang often touches someone falsely using your influence to further their own selfish schemes, or an unfaithful lover. The dream may ask who is borrowing your name or standing to serve ends that aren't yours, and whether a person you've trusted is mimicking loyalty while quietly working their own advantage at your expense.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for orang-utang, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
