Sneeze

A sneeze — sudden, involuntary, expelling — often touches hasty tidings that change your plans, with boring visitors if others sneeze, though some read it as long life. The dream may ask where an abrupt piece of news is about to redirect you, and whether the quick interruption is a nuisance or an omen of something good and lasting.

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

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
