Waif
Waif
A waif — a lost, uncared-for child — often touches personal difficulties and especial ill-luck in business. The dream may ask where something abandoned and adrift is appearing to you, and whether the figure of neglect reflects troubles of your own that have been left to wander uncared-for and are now asking to be taken in.

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