Timber

Timber — sound wood ready for building — often touches prosperous times and peaceful surroundings, with great disappointments if it appears dead. The dream may ask where strong, usable material for what you want to build is stacked ready, and whether the stock you're drawing on is living and sound or rotted and dead, a sign of letdown.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for timber, 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 see timber in your dreams, is an augury of prosperous times and peaceful surroundings.
