Obelisk
An obelisk — stately, cold, and towering — often touches melancholy tidings, with fatal disagreements for lovers at its base. The dream may ask where a monument to something rigid and imposing stands in your path, and whether the impressive but unfeeling thing before you is the source of a coming sorrow or a parting.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for obelisk, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
An obelisk looming up stately and cold in your dreams is the forerunner of melancholy tidings.
For lovers to stand at the base of an obelisk, denotes fatal disagreements.
