Miller's Dream Book. Read online.

Attitude to dreams

Gustav Miller was firmly convinced that dreams are not a meaningless set of pictures generated by a tired brain. He considered night visions to be some kind of encrypted messages, thanks to which one could foresee future events, unravel mysteries, or receive guidance for action in certain situations. Perhaps at some point the dream played an important role in Miller's life and career, which prompted him to take up interpretation.

In the process of deciphering dreams, Miller did not turn to supernatural phenomena (magic, divination, higher powers). His work is based on deep knowledge in the field of psychology and many years of observations. He analyzed dreams calmly and thoroughly, without succumbing to emotions. Being a deeply educated person, he learned to get to the bottom of visions, separating important points from unimportant “mental garbage.”

Values by day of month

The dream book by numbers suggests analyzing the dream taking into account the ordinal number of the month when it was dreamed:

1 - a person dreams of lightning on the 1st day of any month, indicates a lack of mutual understanding in the family;
2 - infidelity of the chosen one;
3 - health problems in the sleeping person;
4 - short-term success;
5 - conflict at work;
6 - long-distance business trip;
7 - the emergence of a new source of income;
8 - short-term love affair without obligations;
9 - unlucky day;
10 - winning the lottery;
11 - meeting an influential person;
12 - unfair play by competitors;
13 - trial;
14 - unfair accusations;
15 - health problems in a loved one;
16 - dismissal as a result of a conflict with the employer;
17 - insurmountable obstacles on the way to the goal;
18 - the appearance of tender feelings for a person who is unworthy of them;
19 - useless attempts to independently overcome material difficulties;
20 - ungodly act;
21 - betrayal of a business partner;
22 - financial independence;
23 - lack of money;
24 - problems due to one’s own irresponsibility;
25 - a request from an elderly relative for help;
26 - new hobby;
27 - emotional burnout;
28 - unplanned trip;
29 - financial prosperity and success;
30 - good luck in gambling;
31 - happy changes in your personal life.

Lightning never appears in night dreams without a reason. She warns that unexpected events will occur in a person’s life that will force him to adjust his plans or completely abandon them. By correctly interpreting the dream, the sleeper will be able to prepare for changes, no matter how sudden they may be.

Interest in psychology

Despite the fact that Gustav Miller achieved impressive results in the field of psychology, he was not a certified specialist. Growing up and developing his personality took place in conditions that did not involve elevated interests and activities. Since childhood, he saw the hard work of his parents, farmers, and in his youth he went into trade to feed himself and stand on his feet. That is, at first he was a very down-to-earth person who did not plan scientific activities.

But it often happens that gifted people at the beginning of their life’s journey do not do what is destined for them by fate. However, natural talent and an inquisitive analytical mind did their job. When Miller managed to achieve a stable decent income, in parallel with his commercial activities, he began to take a keen interest in what really fascinated him - the human personality, the patterns of life and, of course, dreams. Perhaps it was these natural inclinations and acquired knowledge that helped Miller achieve great success in life.

Best-seller

The result of many years of work by Gustav Miller was “Dream Book or Interpretation of Dreams,” which was published in 1901 in New York. The book, containing more than 1,700 interpretations of the most common dreams, instantly became a bestseller. After all, the world has never seen such a detailed interpreter, with such a huge list of dreams and explanations. The book was reprinted several times, and the edition always flew off the shelves of bookstores at lightning speed. The author constantly supplemented and refined his brainchild, and over time the number of interpretations exceeded 10 thousand.

By the way, it was not without reason that Miller decided to publish his dream book in New York. As a well-known and respected man of the state of Tennessee, he understood that its inhabitants were mainly hard-working, down-to-earth people with little interest in high matters. Miller's commercial sense told him that it was the progressive New York public, which gravitated towards everything unusual and unknown, that would bring him success. And he was right.

Interpretation depending on who had the dream

The same image in women's and men's dreams can have different, sometimes opposite, meanings.

To a man

A bachelor dreams of meeting a pretty representative of the opposite sex.

For a single man, lightning promises a quick acquaintance with a girl.

For a married man, the dream predicts a difficult conversation with his wife’s father. The reason will be the dreamer’s romantic interest on the side, which the father-in-law accidentally finds out about.

To a woman

For a lonely girl who saw a sparkling sky in her night dreams, fate had prepared a meeting with a wealthy man who would patronize her in exchange for intimate dates.

Other interpretations:

a young lady about to get married dreams of lightning indicating the groom’s infidelity;
for a pregnant woman - to worries about the child, which will be in vain;
for a married lady - to a family conflict;
for an elderly woman - to misunderstanding with the younger generation.

Interpretation of a dream if you dreamed of lightning

Lightning is a dream symbol that can be interpreted in two ways. On the one hand, it personifies the divine will, insight, on the other hand, unpredictability, an irresistible element capable of destroying everything in its path.

For this reason, dreams with electrical discharges sparkling in the sky can have different meanings.

Positive values
Dreams promising a happy development of events:
dreaming of hiding from bad weather in a safe shelter means a favorable coincidence of circumstances, gaining new knowledge;
observing a natural phenomenon at work surrounded by colleagues means career growth;
Hearing thunder coming from afar and seeing the sky illuminated by electric discharges means a romantic date with an attractive person.

Negative
Bad events are foreshadowed by the following night visions:
seeing orange lightning against a black sky means a long period of failures and misfortunes;
watching how electrical discharges try to hit a child is a sign of dissatisfaction with oneself;
controlling lightning means unsuccessful attempts to cope with problems.

Orange lightning in a dream promises a series of failures.

Dream Interpretation - Dream Interpreter

Interesting and gray, saturated with echoes of the past day or, on the contrary, carrying certain signs that take us to the distant past or paint pictures of the future in our minds, pleasant or terrible - all of these our dreams. Their content has long been a mystery to humans - at different times there were different interpretations of dreams.

Trying to find out the meaning of dreams, people, first of all, tried to look into their future, to understand what fate had in store for them. A correctly interpreted dream could become a true warning, a promise of joy and prosperity, on the contrary, a harbinger of illness or even death, a promise of family happiness or imminent marriage. There were and are many options for prediction, and all of them are collected in dream books or dream interpreters.

How are dreams related to events that happen to a person in reality? While awake, each of us receives a huge amount of information; this flow is continuous and inexhaustible. Our consciousness is forced to leave in memory only the most important and significant information, as if filtering out everything else. However, a person remembers in the smallest detail everything that happens to him at every moment of time. This happens thanks to the work of the subconscious, which collects and analyzes all incoming information. In a dream, our subconscious comes to the fore, returning information to a person that was unnoticed by him with the help of dreams - vivid figurative actions unfolding before the eyes of the sleeper.

That is why the meaning of dreams is difficult to overestimate, although it is possible that in some cases their content is formed under the influence of vivid impressions of the past day, or is only a reflection of events that have just occurred. Nevertheless, our dreams remain inexhaustible sources of information. Most often, the prediction made on their basis comes true.
