Wedlock

Unwelcome wedlock often touches being implicated in a disagreeable affair, with scandalous escapades if a young woman is dissatisfied, though contented, secure wedlock is propitious. The dream may ask where you feel bound in a tie that chafes, and whether the bond is one to fortify yourself within or one you can genuinely settle into.

What the old dream-books say

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

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
