Urn

An urn — vessel of ashes or ornament — often touches prospering in some respects but meeting disfavour in others, with unhappiness in broken ones. The dream may ask where a mixed fortune is taking shape, and whether you can hold the good and the disfavoured together, accepting that the same vessel may carry both prosperity and grief.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for urn, 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 an urn, foretells you will prosper in some respects, and in others disfavor will be apparent. To see broken urns, unhappiness will confront you.
