Pencil
A pencil — writing in marks that can be erased — often touches favourable occupations, with fortune in marriage if a young woman writes and doesn't rub out her words. The dream may ask where you're setting down provisional plans, and whether committing firmly, rather than second-guessing and erasing, is what secures the good outcome.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for pencil, 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 pencils, denotes favorable occupations. For a young woman to write with one, foretells she will be fortunate in marriage, if she does not rub out words; in that case, she will be disappointed in her lover.
