Spleen

The spleen — long held the seat of bitterness — often touches a misunderstanding with someone who will injure you. The dream may ask where vented or harboured ill humour is straining a relationship, and whether a clash fed by stored-up irritation is heading toward the kind of injury that's hard to take back.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

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

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
