Wings

Wings — the means of flight and freedom — often touch grave fears for someone gone on a long journey, but the overcoming of adversity and a rise to honour if you see the wings of birds. The dream may ask where you're longing to fly toward someone far away, and whether the wings carry anxious fear or the lift that bears you over hardship.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for wings, 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 that you have wings, foretells that you will experience grave fears for the safety of some one gone on a long journey away from you.

To see the wings of fowls or birds, denotes that you will finally overcome adversity and rise to wealthy degrees and honor.
