Quay

A quay — the dockside where ships are loaded — often touches contemplating a long tour, with wishes coming to fruition if you see vessels. The dream may ask where you're standing at the edge of departure, and whether the ships gathering before you signal that your designs and longings are about to set sail.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

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

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
