Question

Questioning a thing's merits often touches suspecting a loved one of unfaithfulness, while asking a question means striving for truth and succeeding. The dream may ask where doubt is unsettling your trust or ventures, and whether the questioning in you is corrosive suspicion or an honest search for what's real.

Miller 1901

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
