Pest

A pest — some small, persistent nuisance — often touches disturbing elements prevailing in your immediate future, or annoyance from a displeasing development. The dream may ask what nagging irritation is buzzing at the edge of your days, and whether the small but relentless bother is a sign of more unsettling things gathering.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for pest, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
