Overcoat
An overcoat — worn against the cold — often touches suffering from others' contrariness, misfortune through strangers' mistakes in borrowing one, but great fortune in a handsome new one. The dream may ask what protection you're wrapping around yourself, and whether the covering you've chosen is your own or borrowed and ill-fitting.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for overcoat, 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 an overcoat, denotes you will suffer from contrariness, exhibited by others. To borrow one, foretells you will be unfortunate through mistakes made by strangers. If you see or are wearing a handsome new overcoat, you will be exceedingly fortunate in realizing your wishes.
