Ladle

A ladle — for serving out what nourishes — often touches a fortunate choice of companion and happiness drawn from children. The dream may ask where you're being well-matched in your closest bonds, what you're dishing out to those you love, and whether the vessel of your giving is whole and clean or cracked toward grievous loss.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for ladle, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901

Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted

To see a ladle in your dreams, denotes you will be fortunate in the selection of a companion. Children will prove sources of happiness.

If the ladle is broken or uncleanly, you will have a grievous loss.
