Nest
A nest — built to shelter and hatch new life — often touches a prosperous enterprise you'll be drawn into, or sorrow if it's empty, disappointment if the eggs are bad. The dream may ask what you're carefully building to hold something precious, and whether the nest you're tending is full of promise or already broken and abandoned.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for nest, 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 seeing birds' nests, denotes that you will be interested in an enterprise which will be prosperous. For a young woman, this dream foretells change of abode.
To see an empty nest, indicates sorrow through the absence of a friend.
Hens' nests, foretells that you will be interested in domesticities, and children will be cheerful and obedient.
To dream of a nest filled with broken or bad eggs, portends disappointments and failure.
