Brush
A hair-brush in a dream — the daily tending of how we appear — can mark misfortune arising from our own mismanagement, while old worn brushes touch sickness. The dream tends to touch the small upkeep of self and what neglect of it costs, and to ask whether we are tending our affairs with care or letting them grow ragged.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for brush, 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 using a hair-brush, denotes you will suffer misfortune from your mismanagement. To see old hair brushes, denotes sickness and ill health. To see clothes brushes, indicates a heavy task is pending over you.
If you are busy brushing your clothes, you will soon receive reimbursement for laborious work. To see miscellaneous brushes, foretells a varied line of work, yet withal, rather pleasing and remunerative.
