File
A file — for storing papers, or for grinding metal — often touches unsatisfying business and the slow friction of unsettling affairs. The dream may ask what transaction is leaving you uneasy, where animated disputes over significant matters are causing you disquiet, and what unfavourable matter you keep filing away without resolving.
A live archive of what the world is dreaming tonight: which symbols are rising, the collective mood, and where the dreams are coming from. Free, always.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for file, 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 that you see a file, signifies that you will transact some business which will prove unsatisfactory in the extreme.
To see files, to store away bills and other important papers, foretells animated discussions over subjects which bear relation to significant affairs, and which will cause you much unrest and disquiet. Unfavorable predictions for the future are also implied in this dream.
