Poker
A poker — the iron rod that stirs the fire — often touches meeting trouble with combative energy, with a warning against evil company if you play at the card game. The dream may ask where you're ready to fight back hard against difficulty, and whether the heat you're stoking will serve your defence or draw you into corrupting company.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for poker, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

To play at poker, warns you against evil company; and young women, especially, will lose their moral distinctiveness if they find themselves engaged in this game.
