Waiter

A waiter — who serves at table — often touches being pleasantly entertained by a friend, with offensive people imposing on your hospitality if one is cross. The dream may ask where you're being attended and looked after, and whether the service around you is gracious or marred by those who thrust themselves rudely upon your generosity.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for waiter, 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 of a waiter, signifies you will be pleasantly entertained by a friend. To see one cross or disorderly, means offensive people will thrust themselves upon your hospitality.
