Prairie

A prairie — vast open grassland — often touches ease and even luxury with unobstructed progress, joyous when green and flowered, but sad and unlucky when barren or lost upon. The dream may ask where a wide, unimpeded way is opening before you, and whether the great expanse you're crossing is lush with happiness or bleak and disorienting.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

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

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
