Clams
Clams — sealed tight against the world — often touch what stays closed, guarded, and slow to open. The dream may ask where you're dealing with stubbornness, whether your own or someone else's, and what quiet reward waits for the patience to coax something reluctant into opening up.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for clams, 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 clams, denotes you will have dealings with an obstinate but honest person. To eat them, foretells you will enjoy another's prosperity.
For a young woman to dream of eating baked clams with her sweetheart, foretells that she will enjoy his money as well as his confidence.
Fontaine, 1862
To a lover, this dream is a sign he will be successful with his sweetheart; if the clams are large, it signifies he will get through the world easy, but if they are small he may get into difficulties, and be caught in a tight place.
