Cable
A cable in a dream is a strong line bearing great strain, and the old books tie it to the undertaking of decidedly hazardous work that rewards us if carried through. The dream tends to touch the heavy, load-bearing connection we are trusting, and to ask what risky enterprise we are tethered to, and whether the line will hold.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for cable, 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 a cable, foretells the undertaking of a decidedly hazardous work, which, if successfully carried to completion, will abound in riches and honor to you.
To dream of receiving cablegrams, denotes that a message of importance will reach you soon, and will cause disagreeable comments.
