Road
Roads often appear when the dreamer is questioning their direction—whether a life path feels right, or if they're lost in choices that once seemed clear. The texture matters: a smooth road may reflect confidence, while a rough or bordered one asks whether the journey itself, not the destination, holds what you're seeking.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for road, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
Traveling over a rough, unknown road in a dream, signifies new undertakings, which will bring little else than grief and loss of time.
If the road is bordered with trees and flowers, there will be some pleasant and unexpected fortune for you. If friends accompany you, you will be successful in building an ideal home, with happy children and faithful wife, or husband.
To lose the road, foretells that you will make a mistake in deciding some question of trade, and suffer loss in consequence.
