Salmon

Salmon — the fish that swims hard upstream — often touches good luck and pleasant duties, with a cheerful, comfortably-providing husband for a young woman. The dream may ask where effortful, determined progress is bringing you fortune, and whether you can trust the rewarding work and company gathering around you to keep you well.

Miller 1901

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
