Completion

Completing a task often touches the deep satisfaction of a thing seen through to its end — competency earned, the freedom that finishing brings. The dream may ask what you're close to finishing, what would open up for you once it's done, and where you long for the settled ease of work fully complete.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
