Hatchet
A hatchet often touches wasteful destruction that exposes you to envious designs — a sharp tool turned careless, or rusted into grief. The dream may ask where heedless squandering leaves you open to those who'd harm you, what you're chopping away without thought, and how wasted resources are sharpening trouble against you.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for hatchet, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
A hatchet seen in a dream, denotes that wanton wastefulness will expose you to the evil designs of envious persons. If it is rusty or broken, you will have grief over wayward people.
