Bolts
Bolts in a dream are what bars the way, and the old books read them as formidable obstacles set against our progress — old or broken, our expectations falling short. The dream tends to touch the barriers between us and where we want to go, and to ask what is locked against us, and whether it will give.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for bolts, 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 bolts, signifies that formidable obstacles will oppose your progress.
If the bolts are old or broken, your expectations will be eclipsed by failures.
