Ironing
Ironing often touches the smoothing of domestic life into order — comfort and orderly business, unless a burn or scorch disturbs it. The dream may ask where you're pressing the wrinkles out of your home or affairs, whether the work brings calm or stirs jealousy and friction, and what small mishap might mar the smoothness you're after.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for ironing, 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 ironing, denotes domestic comforts and orderly business.
If a woman dreams that she burns her hands while ironing, it foretells she will have illness or jealousy to disturb her peace. If she scorches the clothes, she will have a rival who will cause her much displeasure and suspicions. If the irons seem too cold, she will lack affection in her home.
