Andirons
Andirons hold the fire in the hearth, and in dreams they often speak to the warmth among friends. Supporting burning logs, they mark good will and a living fire; in an empty grate, they can carry loss and cold. The dream tends to ask whether the hearth of our friendships is lit, or has gone out.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for andirons, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
Andirons seen in a dream, denotes good will among friends, if the irons support burning logs; if they are in an empty fireplace, loss of property and death are signified.
