Pastry

Pastry — rich, flaky, made to delight — often touches deception by an artful person if merely seen, but heartfelt friendships in the eating. The dream may ask where a sweet, tempting surface might be the cover for someone's cunning, and whether the indulgence before you conceals a manipulation or genuinely nourishes the bonds you value.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for pastry, 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 of pastry, denotes that you will be deceived by some artful person.

To eat it, implies heartfelt friendships.

If a young woman dreams that she is cooking it, she will fail to deceive others as to her real intentions.
