A pickaxe — the tool for breaking hard ground — often touches a relentless enemy working to overthrow you socially, with disaster if it's broken. The dream may ask who is digging, doggedly, to undermine your standing, and whether the means of your defence is sound or shattered just when you most need it.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
