Currycomb

A currycomb — the tool for the patient grooming of a horse — often touches the hard, repetitive labour that wealth and comfort demand. The dream may ask where the ease you want will only come through unglamorous effort, and whether you're willing to put in the steady, scraping work that lies between you and it.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
