Tumble

To tumble off something often touches a carelessness you should correct by being prompt with your affairs, with profit from others' negligence if you see them tumble. The dream may ask where a loss of footing exposes where you've grown lax, and whether a fall is the nudge to tighten up before carelessness costs you.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for tumble, 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 tumble off of any thing, denotes that you are given to carelessness, and should strive to be prompt with your affairs.

To see others tumbliing,{sic} is a sign that you will profit by the negligence of others.
