White Moth
A white moth — drawn pale to the night light — often touches unavoidable sickness you may wrongly blame on someone, with the death of friends or relatives if it settles or vanishes. The dream may ask where a fragile, fluttering presence is signalling illness beyond your control, and whether you can resist pinning the cause on yourself.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for white moth, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of a white moth, foretells unavoidable sickness, though you will be tempted to accuse yourself or some other with wrong-doing, which you think causes the complaint. For a woman to see one flying around in the room at night, forebodes unrequited wishes and disposition which will effect the enjoyment of other people. To see a moth flying and finally settling upon something, or disappearing totally, foreshadows death of friends or relatives.
