Distaff
A distaff — the spindle of patient, frugal spinning — often touches quiet thrift and a contemplative, devotional turn of spirit. The dream may ask where modest, steady industry is grounding you, what pleasant simplicity you're cultivating, and whether a more inward, reflective rhythm is asking to be woven back into your days.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for distaff, 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 distaff, denotes frugality, with pleasant surroundings. It also signifies that a devotional spirit will be cultivated by you.
