Counter
A counter — the surface where business is transacted — often touches active engagement that keeps idleness and unhealthy longing at bay. The dream may ask where busy, purposeful work is steadying you, and whether your counters feel full and trafficked or empty and soiled, hinting at engagements that bring unease.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for counter, 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 counters, foretells that active interest will debar idleness from infecting your life with unhealthful desires. To dream of empty and soiled counters, foretells unfortunate engagements which will bring great uneasiness of mind lest your interest will be wholly swept away.
