Revival

A religious revival often touches family disturbances and unprofitable engagements, with friends displeased by your contrary ways if you take part. The dream may ask where a surge of fervour is stirring conflict around you, and whether throwing yourself into the heightened gathering draws you into disputes better kept at arm's length.

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for revival, 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 you attend a religious revival, foretells family disturbances and unprofitable engagements.

If you take a part in it, you will incur the displeasure of friends by your contrary ways.

[189] See Religion.

Fontaine, 1862

The Golden Wheel Dream-book

To dream of a religious revival, or of being where a great many people are holding a revival meeting, is a sign that you will go into a disreputable public place and lose caste: if you take part in the meeting, it foretells that you will come to disgrace, as all such dreams work contrariwise.
