Pot

A pot — the common cooking vessel — often touches unimportant events working vexation, with busy, pleasant duties in a boiling one and disappointment in a broken one. The dream may ask where small domestic matters are needling you, and whether the everyday vessel of your routines is simmering with useful activity or cracked and useless.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

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

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901

Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted

To dream of a pot, foretells that unimportant events will work you vexation. For a young woman to see a boiling pot, omens busy employment of pleasant and social duties. To see a broken or rusty one, implies that keen disappointment will be experienced by you.
