Threshing

Threshing grain — beating the harvest to free the seed — often touches great advancement and family happiness, but unsuccessful enterprise if there's much straw and little grain. The dream may ask where vigorous effort is separating value from chaff, and whether the labour of your harvest is yielding solid grain or empty stalks.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for threshing, 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 threshing grain, denotes great advancement in business and happiness among families. But if there is an abundance of straw and little grain, unsuccessful enterprises will be undertaken.

To break down or have an accident while threshing, you will have some great sorrow in the midst of prosperity.
