Oilcloth
Oilcloth — a hard, wipeable, impersonal surface — often touches a warning of coldness and treachery, with uncertain speculations in dealing it. The dream may ask where you're meeting a slick, unfeeling front in someone, and whether the smooth, repellent surface you've encountered is hiding betrayal beneath its easy-to-clean indifference.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for oilcloth, 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 oilcloth is a warning that you will meet coldness and treachery.
To deal in it, denotes uncertain speculations.
