Oyster Shells
Oyster shells — the emptied casings, the pearl and meat already gone — often touch frustration in trying to secure another's fortune. The dream may ask where you're reaching for what someone else has already taken the value from, and whether the prize you're after has been hollowed out before you ever got your hands on it.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for oyster shells, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To see oyster shells in your dreams, denotes that you will be frustrated in your attempt to secure the fortune of another.
