Dust
Dust settling over you often touches a slight tarnishing — injury by others' failures, the dimming of your shine by neglect or rivalry. The dream may ask where someone else's collapse is dusting you with loss, whether you're being set aside for a newer interest, and whether judicious effort to brush yourself clean might clear the smudge.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for dust, 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 dust covering you, denotes that you will be slightly injured in business by the failure of others. For a young woman, this denotes that she will be set aside by her lover for a newer flame. If you free yourself of the dust by using judicious measures, you will clear up the loss.
Fontaine, 1862
If you dream you are in a room or in the road where the dust is flying so as to choke you, it shows that some one is plotting to injure you in some way or to make a speculation out of you.
