Counterpane
A counterpane — the bed's outer covering — often touches the surface state of your rest and domestic ease. Clean and white, it speaks of pleasant occupation; soiled, of harassment. The dream may ask what condition your private comforts are in, and whether the covering over your rest is fresh or worn and troubling.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for counterpane, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
A counterpane is very good to dream of, if clean and white, denoting pleasant occupations for women; but if it be soiled you may expect harassing situations. Sickness usually follows this dream.
