Grease

Grease often touches a slippery smoothness — travels with polished but disagreeable company, or undertakings that slide along just right. The dream may ask where things are going slick and easy, whose refined but unpleasant presence you're moving alongside, and whether the greased path carries you forward or just makes you slide.

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for grease, 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 you are in grease, is significant of travels being enjoyed with disagreeable but polished strangers.

Fontaine, 1862

The Golden Wheel Dream-book

If you dream of grease, it foretells that any undertaking you may then be engaged in will go right, and according to your mind: if the grease is dirty you will experience difficulties, but will get through them. Lovers who dream of grease, will be able to get married pretty easy, and have things go slick afterward.
