Churning
Churning — the patient, repetitive labour that slowly turns cream to butter — often touches the effortful work that yields only with persistence. The dream may ask where you're putting in steady, unglamorous effort, and whether you trust that your diligence will eventually thicken into something solid.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for churning, 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 churning, you will have difficult tasks set you, but by diligence and industry you will accomplish them and be very prosperous. To the farmer, it denotes profit from a plenteous harvest; to a young woman, it denotes a thrifty and energetic husband.
