Teacups
Teacups — small vessels of genteel comfort — often touch affairs of enjoyment attended, with pleasure marred by sudden trouble if they break. The dream may ask where modest, civilised pleasures are gathering for you, and whether the delicate cup of your contentment will be savoured or knocked into a crack that spoils what it held.
A live archive of what the world is dreaming tonight: which symbols are rising, the collective mood, and where the dreams are coming from. Free, always.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for teacups, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of teacups, foretells that affairs of enjoyment will be attended by you. For a woman to break or see them broken, omens her pleasure and good fortune will be marred by a sudden trouble. To drink wine from one, foretells fortune and pleasure will be combined in the near future.
