Magnifying-glass
A magnifying-glass often touches distorted scale — work that won't come out satisfactorily, or attention given to those who'll later ignore you. The dream may ask where you're enlarging some things out of proportion, and whether the close, intent looking you're doing is clarifying matters or magnifying them unhelpfully.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for magnifying-glass, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To look through a magnifying-glass in your dreams, means failure to accomplish your work in a satisfactory manner. For a woman to think she owns one, foretells she will encourage the attention of persons who will ignore her later.
