Wheat

Wheat often speaks to the fruits of patient labor—what grows slowly, ripens fully, and nourishes over time. Whether the field feels abundant or threatened may reflect how secure you feel in what you've cultivated, or whether you trust the ground beneath your efforts.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for wheat, 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 see large fields of growing wheat in your dreams, denotes that your interest will take on encouraging prospects.

If the wheat is ripe, your fortune will be assured and love will be your joyous companion.

To see large clear grains of wheat running through the thresher, foretells that prosperity has opened her portals to the fullest for you.

To see it in sacks or barrels, your determination to reach the apex of success is soon to be crowned with victory and your love matters will be firmly grounded.

If your granary is not well covered and you see its contents getting wet, foretells that while you have amassed a fortune, you have not secured your rights and you will see your interests diminishing by the hand of enemies.

If you rub wheat from the head into your hand and eat it, you will labor hard for success and will obtain and make sure of your rights.

To dream that you climb a steep hill covered with wheat and think you are pulling yourself up by the stalks of wheat, denotes you will enjoy great prosperity and thus be able to distinguish yourself in any chosen pursuit.
