Flax Spinning

Spinning flax often touches industrious, thrifty habits — the patient turning of fibre into thread, hour by steady hour. The dream may ask where diligent, repetitive work is grounding you, what you're slowly spinning out of plain material, and whether you can trust the unglamorous rhythm of careful industry to build something sound.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say
