Talking

Talking in a dream often touches soon hearing of relatives' sickness and worries in your affairs, with accusations of meddling if others talk loudly. The dream may ask where words, yours or others', are stirring concern, and whether the conversation through your circumstances brings unwelcome news or pulls you where you shouldn't go.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for talking, 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 talking, denotes that you will soon hear of the sickness of relatives, and there will be worries in your affairs.

To hear others talking loudly, foretells that you will be accused of interfering in the affairs of others. To think they are talking about you, denotes that you are menaced with illness and disfavor.
