Orator

An orator's spell often touches the danger of heeding flattery to your own detriment, persuaded into aiding unworthy people. The dream may ask whose eloquence is sweeping you toward a choice your own judgment wouldn't make, and whether you're being moved by outward show and stirring words rather than the real merit of the cause.

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for orator, 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

Being under the spell of an orator's eloquence, denotes that you will heed the voice of flattery to your own detriment, as you will be persuaded into offering aid to unworthy people.
