Vagrant
A vagrant — homeless and adrift — often touches poverty and misery if you are one, contagion in your community if you see them, but applauded generosity if you give. The dream may ask where rootlessness and want are pressing near, and whether you can meet the figure of destitution with the openhandedness that earns esteem.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for vagrant, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream that you are a vagrant, portends poverty and misery. To see vagrants is a sign of contagion invading your community. To give to a vagrant, denotes that your generosity will be applauded.
