Palsy

Palsy — a trembling loss of control — often touches unstable contracts and uncertainty about a friend's faithfulness. The dream may ask where your agreements feel shaky and unreliable, and whether a wavering you sense, in your own footing or in someone you're counting on, is unsettling the things you'd hoped were firm.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for palsy, 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 are afflicted with palsy, denotes that you are making unstable contracts.

To see your friend so afflicted, there will be uncertainty as to his faithfulness and sickness, too, may enter your home.

For lovers to dream that their sweethearts have palsy, signifies that dissatisfaction over some question will mar their happiness.
