Plane

To a modern dreamer a plane is the aircraft, not the carpenter's tool the old books meant — so read it as flight: carried at speed and height with your fate in another's hands, the lift-off, the turbulence, the fear of the fall. Where in waking life have you committed to a journey you can't steer once it's begun — and is the feeling the freedom of leaving the ground, or the dread of not being the one flying?

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

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

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
