Knee
Knees — what we bend, kneel, and carry weight upon — often touch the joints where strength meets submission, and where sudden trouble can buckle you. The dream may ask where you feel your support might give way, what burden your bearing-points are straining under, and whether you're standing firm or about to be brought low.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for knee, 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 that your knees are too large, denotes sudden ill luck for you. If they are stiff and pain you, swift and fearful calamity awaits you.
For a woman to dream that she has well-formed and smooth knees, predicts she will have many admirers, but none to woo her in wedlock.
If they are soiled, sickness from dissipation is portended. If they are unshapely, unhappy changes in her fortune will displace ardent hopes.
To dream of knees is an unfortunate omen.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of falling on the knees, denotes misfortune in business. To see a woman's knees, good luck and marriage to the girl of your choice. For a woman to see a man's knee, shows that she will have many male children.
