Mill
A mill — grinding grain into sustenance — often touches thrift and fortunate undertakings, or, dilapidated, sickness and ill fortune. The dream may ask where steady, productive work is turning your raw material into plenty, and whether the machinery of your livelihood is running soundly or falling into disrepair.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for mill, 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 a mill, indicates thrift and fortunate undertakings.
To see a dilapidated mill, denotes sickness and ill fortune.
[126] See Cotton Mill, etc.
Fontaine, 1862
If you dream of going to a flouring-mill, where you see plenty of grain and flour, it is a good omen, as it shadows forth thrift and abundance; but to imagine in your dream that you are in any manufactory of cloth fabrics called a mill, is a sign of poverty and want. Girls who work in such places should be careful never to dream of them.
