Plank
Walking a rotten plank over muddy water often touches keenly felt indifference from one you love, or a defence of honour in danger of collapse, while a sound plank is a good omen asking care. The dream may ask what narrow, precarious crossing you're making, and whether the support underfoot will hold or give way beneath you.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for plank, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
For a young woman to dream that she is walking across muddy water on a rotten plank, denotes that she will feel keenly the indifference shown her by one she loves, or other troubles may arise; or her defence of honor may be in danger of collapse.
Walking a good, sound plank, is a good omen, but a person will have to be unusually careful in conduct after such a dream.
