Privacy

Privacy intruded upon often touches overbearing people worrying you, with a warning to look carefully after private affairs. The dream may ask where your boundaries are being breached by those who don't respect them, and whether you can guard what's properly your own against exposing confidences that should stay closed.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for privacy, 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 that your privacy suffers intrusion, foretells you will have overbearing people to worry you. For a woman, this dream warns her to look carefully after private affairs. If she intrudes on the privacy of her husband or lover, she will disabuse some one's confidence, if not careful of her conversation.
