Custom-house
A custom-house — where what passes is inspected, taxed, and contested — often touches rivalry and the gatekeeping of what you're trying to gain. The dream may ask where competition stands between you and a long-desired position, whether you're entering toward it or leaving it behind, and what toll the crossing demands.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for custom-house, 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 a custom-house, denotes you will have rivalries and competition in your labors.
To enter a custom-house, foretells that you will strive for, or have offered you, a position which you have long desired.
To leave one, signifies loss of position, trade or failure of securing some desired object.
