Roundabout

A roundabout — going in circles without arriving — often touches struggling unsuccessfully to advance in fortune or love. The dream may ask where your efforts keep bringing you back to where you started, and whether the looping, going-nowhere course is one you can break out of or a sign that this striving simply won't progress.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

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

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
