Coal-hod
A coal-hod — the heavy scuttle that feeds the fire — often touches the burden of supplying what keeps things going, and the lingering cost of having spent carelessly. The dream may ask where a vacancy left by extravagance is being filled with grief, and how harmonious your surroundings truly feel.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for coal-hod, 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 coal-hod, denotes that grief will be likely to fill a vacancy made by reckless extravagance. To see your neighbor carrying in hods, foretells your surroundings will be decidedly distasteful and inharmonious.
