Steeple

A steeple rising from a church often touches sickness and reverses, with serious difficulties surmounted if you climb it but losses if you fall. The dream may ask where something is pointing high above your affairs, and whether the aspiring structure marks a hard climb you can make or a height from which a fall would cost you dearly.

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for steeple, 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 see a steeple rising from a church, is a harbinger of sickness and reverses.

A broken one, points to death in your circle, or friends.

To climb a steeple, foretells that you will have serious difficulties, but will surmount them.

To fall from one, denotes losses in trade and ill health.

Fontaine, 1862

The Golden Wheel Dream-book

To dream of going up to the top of a steeple, and looking off at a distance, is a sign that you will increase your property or effects: if a girl dreams this, it foretells that she will marry above her present position.
