Sea Foam

Sea foam — froth that dazzles but dissolves — often touches indiscriminate, demoralizing pleasures distracting from rectitude. The dream may ask where a glittering, insubstantial delight is pulling you off your steadier path, and whether showy gratification is crowding out the refinement that matters more, perhaps grieving those you love.

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for sea foam, 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

For a woman to dream of sea foam, foretells that indiscriminate and demoralizing pleasures will distract her from the paths of rectitude. If she wears a bridal veil of sea foam, she will engulf herself in material pleasure to the exclusion of true refinement and innate modesty. She will be likely to cause sorrow to some of those dear to her, through their inability to gratify her ambition.
