Composing
A composing stick — the typesetter's tool for arranging letters one by one — often touches the slow, exacting assembly of something meant to be read. The dream may ask what difficult problem you're piecing together character by character, and what trouble you're bracing to meet as the work takes shape.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for composing, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To see in your dreams a composing stick, foretells that difficult problems will disclose themselves, and you will be at great trouble to meet them.
