Kettle
A kettle often touches great and laborious work ahead — boiling water signalling struggles soon ending in change, a broken one meaning failure after mighty effort. The dream may ask what demanding labour is heating up before you, whether the work is coming to a boil and a turning point, and how much toil stands between you and change.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for kettle, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To see kettles in your dream, denotes great and laborious work before you.
To see a kettle of boiling water, your struggles will soon end and a change will come to you.
To see a broken kettle, denotes failure after a mighty effort to work out a path to success.
For a young woman to dream of handling dark kettles, foretells disappointment in love and marriage; but a light-colored kettle brings to her absolute freedom from care, and her husband will be handsome and worthy.
