Over-alls
Overalls — the plain garb of rough labour — often touch deception about a lover's or husband's real character, suspicions stirred by frequent absence. The dream may ask where someone's workaday, unremarkable exterior is concealing a truth you haven't seen, and whether absences you've explained away are raising doubts about their fidelity.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for over-alls, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
For a woman to dream that she sees a man wearing over-alls, she will be deceived as to the real character of her lover. If a wife, she will be deceived in her husband's frequent absence, and the real cause will create suspicions of his fidelity.
