Boiler
A boiler out of repair in a dream often marks bad management or disappointment — the engine of things failing for want of care. The dream tends to touch the hidden machinery that keeps life running, and to ask what we have let fall into disrepair, and what pressure is building where it should be controlled.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for boiler, 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 seeing a boiler out of repair, signifies you will suffer from bad management or disappointment. For a woman to dream that she goes into a cellar to see about a boiler foretells that sickness and losses will surround her.
