Puddle

Stepping into a clear puddle often touches a vexation with some redeeming good to follow, while a muddy one brings unpleasantness and wet feet warn of pleasure that harms you afterward. The dream may ask where a small, shallow trouble is splashing you, and whether the water you've stepped in runs clear toward good or murky toward regret.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

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

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901

To wet your feet by stepping into puddles, foretells that your pleasure will work you harm afterwards.
