Ten Thousand Dream Interpretation

by Gustavus Hindman Miller
To dream of securing a patent, denotes that you will be careful and painstaking with any task you set about to accomplish.

If you fail in securing your patent, you will suffer failure for the reason that you are engaging in enterprises for which you have no ability.

If you buy one, you will have occasion to make a tiresome and fruitless journey.

To see one, you will suffer unpleasantness from illness.
