Village

A village — small, close-knit settlement — often touches good health and being fortunately provided for, with pleasant surprises in revisiting your childhood village, but trouble if dilapidated. The dream may ask where a simpler, well-found life is offering itself, and whether the community in view is thriving or run-down toward sadness.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for village, 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 are in a village, denotes that you will enjoy good health and find yourself fortunately provided for.

To revisit the village home of your youth, denotes that you will have pleasant surprises in store and favorable news from absent friends.

If the village looks dilapidated, or the dream indistinct, it foretells that trouble and sadness will soon come to you.
