Leather

Leather — tanned, durable, worked from raw hide — often touches successful business and favourable, faithful engagements. The dream may ask where something tough and well-made is serving your fortunes, what lucky, grounded venture is opening, and whether the hard-wearing material reflects accumulation that needs no anxious change.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say
