What the OCR read

Pre-reform Cyrillic comes out of OCR damaged. What stands above is a reading of the damaged line; this is the line itself.

Miller

Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted; Or, What's in a Dream

Gustavus Hindman Miller

1901 · American Victorian

To dream that you are writing, foretells that you will make a mistake which will almost prove your undoing. To see writing, denotes that you will be upbraided for your careless conduct and a lawsuit may cause you embarrassment. To try to read strange writing, signifies that you will escape enemies only by making no new speculation after this dream.
