Spectacles

Spectacles — worn to see clearly — often touch strangers causing changes and frauds practised on your credulity, with estrangement in broken ones. The dream may ask where your view of things is being corrected or distorted by outsiders, and whether you're seeing your situation clearly or being taken in through a too-trusting blur.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for spectacles, 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

To dream of spectacles, foretells that strangers will cause changes in your affairs. Frauds will be practised on your credulity.

To dream that you see broken spectacles, denotes estrangement caused by fondness for illegal pleasures.
