Visions

Strange visions often touch misfortune in dealings and sickness, with reversals that seem bad but eventually turn to good. The dream may ask where unusual, otherworldly impressions are unsettling you, and whether you can trust that a disorienting season of change, however ominous, is bending toward a better outcome.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for visions, 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 have a strange vision, denotes that you will be unfortunate in your dealings and sickness will unfit you for pleasant duties.

If persons appear to you in visions, it foretells uprising and strife of families or state.

If your friend is near dissolution and you are warned in a vision, he will appear suddenly before you, usually in white garments. Visions of death and trouble have such close resemblance, that they are sometimes mistaken one for the other.

To see visions of any order in your dreams, you may look for unusual developments in your business, and a different atmosphere and surroundings in private life. Things will be reversed for a while with you. You will have changes in your business and private life seemingly bad, but eventually good for all concerned.

The Supreme Will is always directed toward the ultimate good of the race.
