Pail
A pail — full of milk or standing empty — often touches the state of your provision: fair prospects and pleasant company when brimming, famine or poor crops when bare. The dream may ask what your vessel of sustenance holds just now, and whether the daily work of filling it is yielding plenty or coming up dry.
A live archive of what the world is dreaming tonight: which symbols are rising, the collective mood, and where the dreams are coming from. Free, always.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for pail, 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 full pails of milk, is a sign of fair prospects and pleasant associations.
An empty pail is a sign of famine, or bad crops.
For a young woman to be carrying a pail, denotes household employment.
