Telescope
A telescope — drawing the far heavens near — often touches unfavourable seasons for love and changeable business, with costly journeys if you watch the stars, though some read enlarged possessions. The dream may ask what distant thing you're fixed on, and whether the long, narrow view is clarifying or pulling you from what's near.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for telescope, 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 a telescope, portends unfavorable seasons for love and domestic affairs, and business will be changeable and uncertain.
To look at planets and stars through one, portends for you journeys which will afford you much pleasure, but later cause you much financial loss.
To see a broken telescope, or one not in use, signifies that matters will go out of the ordinary with you, and trouble may be expected.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of looking through a telescope at a distance over farm lands, is a sign you will either purchase a farm or inherit one: if you dream of looking at the stars, it shows that you will rise in the world—if at the moon, and you are delighted with the view, it predicts for you great riches.
