Sliding
Sliding — losing your footing on a smooth descent — often touches disappointments and broken vows, with ruin through flattering promises on green grass, though some read smooth ice as luck. The dream may ask where you feel yourself slipping, and whether sweet, persuasive assurances are the very thing greasing your slide toward loss.
A live archive of what the world is dreaming tonight: which symbols are rising, the collective mood, and where the dreams are coming from. Free, always.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for sliding, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of sliding, portends disappointments in affairs, and sweethearts will break vows.
To slide down a hillside covered with green grass, foretells that you will be deceived into ruin by flattering promises.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of sliding on smooth ice, foretells good luck: if a girl dreams that a young man assists her in sliding, and that she enjoys it, she will soon get an agreeable lover: ragged or wet ice, or holes in the ice, foreshadow difficulties.
