Rocking-chair
A rocking-chair — gentle, soothing — often touches friendly intercourse and contentment, with the sweetest joys if a loved one sits in it, but bereavement if empty. The dream may ask where easy, restful companionship is gracing your life, and whether the chairs around you are warmly filled or vacant with absence.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for rocking-chair, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
Rocking-chairs seen in dreams, bring friendly intercourse and contentment with any environment.
To see a mother, wife, or sweetheart in a rocking chair, is ominous of the sweetest joys that earth affords.
To see vacant rocking-chairs, forebodes bereavement or estrangement. The dreamer will surely merit misfortune in some form.
