Pier

Standing on a pier — out past the shore, reaching toward open water — often touches bravery in the battle for recognition and admission to high honours. The dream may ask where you're advancing boldly into prosperity's realm, and whether you'll reach the far point you're striving for or fall short of the distinction you covet.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for pier, 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 stand upon a pier in your dream, denotes that you will be brave in your battle for recognition in prosperity's realm, and that you will be admitted to the highest posts of honor.

If you strive to reach a pier and fail, you will lose the distinction you most coveted.
