Plaster
Plaster — smoothing over the rough wall — often touches success that won't be stable, with unmitigated disaster if it falls on you. The dream may ask where a pleasing surface has been laid over something unsound, and whether the smooth finish you're relying on will hold or come crashing down to expose what it covered.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for plaster, 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 seeing walls plainly plastered, denotes that success will come, but it will not be stable.
To have plaster fall upon you, denotes unmitigated disasters and disclosure.
To see plasterers at work, denotes that you will have a sufficient competency to live above penury.
Fontaine, 1862
For a girl to dream of having a plaster on her person is a sign that some one will offer her an insult, or perhaps make an attempt upon her chastity: if a man dreams this, the same will probably happen to his wife or sweetheart.
