Yield

To yield to another's wishes foretold an opportunity thrown away through weak indecision; to have others yield to you, privileges and a rise above your peers; to reap a poor yield for your labour, cares and worry. Sometimes the dream asks where giving way would cost you, and where holding firm would lift you.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for yield, 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 you yield to another's wishes, denotes that you will throw away by weak indecision a great opportunity to elevate yourself.

If others yield to you, exclusive privileges will be accorded you and you will be elevated above your associates.

To receive poor yield for your labors, you may expect cares and worries.
