Laundry
Laundering clothes often touches the struggle to wash things clean toward a final victory — fortune won if the work comes out well, failed pleasure if it doesn't. The dream may ask what you're laboring to make spotless again, whether your fresh starts are succeeding, and how cleansing the soiled mirrors a striving toward better days.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for laundry, 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 laundering clothes, denotes struggles, but a final victory in winning fortune. If the clothes are done satisfactorily, then your endeavors will bring complete happiness. If they come out the reverse, your fortune will fail to procure pleasure.
To see pretty girls at this work, you will seek pleasure out of your rank.
If a laundryman calls at your house, you are in danger of sickness, or of losing something very valuable.
To see laundry wagons, portends rivalry and contention.
