Procession
A procession often touches alarming fears about your expectations, with approaching sorrow if it's a funeral and detraction from your merit in a torch-light one. The dream may ask what advancing column of events is filling you with dread, and whether the solemn or showy march you're watching shadows your pleasures or your real worth.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for procession, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of a procession, denotes that alarming fears will possess you relative to the fulfilment of expectations. If it be a funeral procession, sorrow is fast approaching, and will throw a shadow around pleasures.
To see or participate in a torch-light procession, denotes that you will engage in gaieties which will detract from your real merit.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of seeing a long military or civic procession, is a sign that some of your friends will come to poverty and ask your assistance; if you imagine that you are in such a procession yourself, it foretells that you will either make a loss, or be very short of money.
