Keg
A keg — a small, bound cask — often touches a struggle to throw off oppression, with a broken one signalling separation. The dream may ask where you're working to free yourself from something pressing down, what confinement you're trying to break out of, and whether the tight-hooped vessel holds something you must contain or escape.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for keg, 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 a keg, denotes you will have a struggle to throw off oppression. Broken ones, indicate separation from family or friends.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of an empty one is a sign you will soon leave home; a keg of small fish, or oysters, denotes the receipt of money; a keg of spirits of any kind, promises poverty; a keg of powder foretells misfortune; a keg of paint predicts compliments to be paid you.
