Spinning

Spinning — drawing raw fibre into useful thread — often touches an enterprise that turns out all you could wish. The dream may ask where patient, transforming work is twisting scattered material into something whole, and whether you can trust the steady turning of your effort to spin the venture into the result you hoped for.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

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

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
