Charcoal
Charcoal unlit in a dream marks miserable situations and bleak unhappiness; burning with glowing coals, it warms toward something better. The dream tends to touch the same black stuff that can lie cold and dead or hold living heat, and to ask whether the embers of our circumstances are dark and out, or quietly aglow.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for charcoal, 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 charcoal unlighted, denotes miserable situations and bleak unhappiness. If it is burning with glowing coals, there is prospects of great enhancement of fortune, and possession of unalloyed joys.
