Colliery or Coal-Mine
A coal mine often touches the descent into dark, effortful ground in search of buried value — and the risk that lurks in such depths. The dream may ask where you're digging for something worth having, whether your footing is safe, and what evil or what reward waits below the surface you've entered.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for colliery or coal-mine, 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 being in a coal-mine or colliery and seeing miners, denotes that some evil will assert its power for your downfall; but if you dream of holding a share in a coal-mine, it denotes your safe investment in some deal.
For a young woman to dream of mining coal, foreshows she will become the wife of a real-estate dealer or dentist.
