Cuspidor

A cuspidor — a vessel for what's spat out — often touches an unworthy attachment that draws you from your work and invites reproach. The dream may ask where a low or careless pull is forming, what you're neglecting because of it, and whose reflections on your conduct you'd rather not have to answer for.

What the old dream-books say

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
