Brewing
Brewing is the slow turning of raw stuff into something potent, and in dreams it can mark unjust persecution that we eventually prove ourselves against — or, in love, a caution against idleness. The dream tends to touch what is fermenting out of sight, and to ask what is quietly brewing in our affairs, for good or ill.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for brewing, 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 being in a vast brewing establishment, means unjust persecution by public officials, but you will eventually prove your innocence and will rise far above your persecutors.
Brewing in any way in your dreams, denotes anxiety at the outset, but usually ends in profit and satisfaction.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of brewing is a sign you should be up and doing; in love, it denotes idleness in your sweetheart; if in trade, you will sustain losses.
