Ventriloquist

A ventriloquist — throwing a voice to seem to come from elsewhere — often touches a treasonable affair harming your interest, with dishonourable conduct if you're one. The dream may ask where words seem to come from a source not truly speaking them, and whether you're being deceived by a misdirected voice, or casting one yourself.

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for ventriloquist, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
