Tenant

A tenant — who occupies but doesn't own — often touches business trouble for a landlord who sees one, loss if you imagine you are one, but success if a tenant pays you. The dream may ask where the terms of who holds and who merely uses are shaping your affairs, and whether the arrangement is bringing you steady return or vexation.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for tenant, 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

For a landlord to see his tenant in a dream, denotes he will have business trouble and vexation. To imagine you are a tenant, foretells you will suffer loss in experiments of a business character. If a tenant pays you money, you will be successful in some engagements.
