Apron
The apron, worn for work and modesty, can mark a zigzag course in dreams — a path that turns and doubles. Loosened or torn, it can carry the sense of slipping standards or correction. The dream tends to ask how steadily we are holding our course, and where we feel exposed or pulled off line.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for apron, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of an apron, signifies a zigzag course, for a young woman. For a school girl to dream that her apron is loosened, or torn, implies bad lessons, and lectures in propriety from parents and teachers.
