Pall

A pall — the dark cloth draped over a coffin — often touches sorrow and misfortune, with mourning of a loved one if you lift it from a corpse. The dream may ask what grief or heaviness has settled like a shroud over your life, and whether you're being asked to face a loss you'd rather leave covered and unseen.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for pall, 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 that you see a pall, denotes that you will have sorrow and misfortune.

If you raise the pall from a corpse, you will doubtless soon mourn the death of one whom you love.
