Hammer
A hammer in dreams often speaks to the work of building or breaking down — the force needed to shape something stubborn into form. Perhaps you're assembling what matters, or dismantling what no longer serves; the dream may ask which structures in your life require such deliberate, forceful attention.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for hammer, 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 seeing a hammer, denotes you will have some discouraging obstacles to overcome in order to establish firmly your fortune.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream that you see or hear hammering, denotes thrift to some one of your friends; if you are using the hammer yourself, it shows that you will be fortunate. A hammer is a good article to dream about.
