Starving

Starving — wasting for lack of nourishment — often touches unfruitful labours and a dearth of friends, with misery if you see others starving. The dream may ask where you feel emptied and unfed, in body, work, or company, and whether the hunger gnawing at you reflects effort that isn't rewarded and a circle that isn't sustaining you.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for starving, 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 being in a starving condition, portends unfruitful labors and a dearth of friends.

To see others in this condition, omens misery and dissatisfaction with present companions and employment.
