Broom
A broom in a dream is the sweeping-clean of what has gathered, and new brooms mark thrift and rapid improvement in fortune. The dream tends to touch the clearing-out that makes room for better, and to ask what we are ready to sweep away, and whether a fresh start is brushing the old dust from our affairs.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for broom, 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 brooms, denotes thrift and rapid improvement in your fortune, if the brooms are new. If they are seen in use, you will lose in speculation. For a woman to lose a broom, foretells that she will prove a disagreeable and slovenly wife and housekeeper.
