Furnace

A furnace — fierce, contained heat — often touches the engine of fortune: running well it brings luck, broken it brings trouble, falling in spells being overpowered. The dream may ask where intense hidden energy drives your circumstances, whether the source of your warmth is sound or failing, and what struggle the fire below is fuelling.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for furnace, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901

Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted

To dream of a furnace, foretells good luck if it is running. If out of repair, you will have trouble with children or hired help. To fall into one, portends some enemy will overpower you in a business struggle.
