Yearn
Yearning — aching for someone's presence — often touches soon hearing comforting tidings from absent friends, with a long-wished-for proposal for a young woman whose lover yearns. The dream may ask where a deep longing reaches toward someone far from you, and whether the ache is the prelude to a welcome word you've hoped to hear.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for yearn, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To feel in a dream that you are yearning for the presence of anyone, denotes that you will soon hear comforting tidings from your absent friends.
For a young woman to think her lover is yearning for her, she will have the pleasure of soon hearing some one making a long-wished-for proposal. If she lets him know that she is yearning for him, she will be left alone and her longings will grow apace.
