Parents
Parents seen cheerful often touch harmony and pleasant company, but appearing after death, or pale and in black, they warn of approaching trouble. The dream may ask what the figures who first shaped you are reflecting back about your present path, and whether their look of contentment or distress mirrors how your own affairs are faring.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for parents, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To see your parents looking cheerful while dreaming, denotes harmony and pleasant associates.
If they appear to you after they are dead, it is a warning of approaching trouble, and you should be particular of your dealings.
To see them while they are living, and they seem to be in your home and happy, denotes pleasant changes for you. To a young woman, this usually brings marriage and prosperity. If pale and attired in black, grave disappointments will harass you.
To dream of seeing your parents looking robust and contented, denotes you are under fortunate environments; your business and love interests will flourish. If they appear indisposed or sad, you will find life's favors passing you by without recognition.
