Patent
Securing a patent often touches care and painstaking diligence, while failing to secure one warns you're attempting what's beyond your ability. The dream may ask where you're staking a claim on something you've created, and whether the protection you seek rests on genuine capability or reaches past your real aptitude.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for patent, 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 securing a patent, denotes that you will be careful and painstaking with any task you set about to accomplish. If you fail in securing your patent, you will suffer failure for the reason that you are engaging in enterprises for which you have no ability.
If you buy one, you will have occasion to make a tiresome and fruitless journey.
To see one, you will suffer unpleasantness from illness.
