Spoons

Spoons — for serving what nourishes — often touch favourable advancement and domestic contentment, with suspicion if one is lost and censure if you steal one. The dream may ask where small, daily acts of care are bringing you ease, and whether the humble implements of your household reflect contentment or a meanness you'd be ashamed of.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

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

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
