Brass
Brass shines like gold but is the baser metal, and in dreams it often marks rapid rise that hides a less solid foundation — apparent elevation with something secretly amiss beneath. The dream tends to touch the gleam that is not quite gold, and to ask whether our advancement is as sound as it looks from outside.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for brass, 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 brass, denotes that you will rise rapidly in your profession, but while of apparently solid elevation you will secretly fear a downfall of fortune.
