Treasure

To find treasure foretold help arriving through some unexpected generosity—fortune advanced by a hand you didn't foresee. To lose it foretold the opposite: business soured and friends proven fickle. Sometimes the dream asks what unlooked-for gift might be near, or what worth you fear is slipping from your keeping.

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for treasure, 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 that you find treasures, denotes that you will be greatly aided in your pursuit of fortune by some unexpected generosity.

If you lose treasures, bad luck in business and the inconstancy of friends is foretold.

Anonymous, 1894

A fortune-teller's pamphlet

Treasure.—To dream you find a treasure in the earth is very ominous; it shows that you will be betrayed by your bosom friend; your sweetheart is unfaithful and deceives you; if you should not be able to carry it away, you will have some very heavy losses; if you have lawsuit it will go against you by the treachery of your attorney.
