Wire

Wire — thin, taut, conducting — often touches frequent short journeys to your disparagement, with a bad temper troubling your kin if it's old or rusty, and being cheated if it's a fence. The dream may ask where stretched, tense connections run through your affairs, and whether the strain on the line is wearing at your relationships.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

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

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
