Ornament

Ornaments — worn, received, given, or lost — often touch honour conferred and fortunate undertakings, but recklessness in giving them away and the loss of a love or position in losing one. The dream may ask what adornment of esteem is being added to or stripped from you, and whether you're guarding or carelessly scattering your worth.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

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

If you wear ornaments in dreams, you will have a flattering honor conferred upon you.

If you receive them, you will be fortunate in undertakings.

Giving them away, denotes recklessness and lavish extravagance.

Losing an ornament, brings the loss either of a lover, or a good situation.
