Quarry
A quarry — where stone is cut from the earth — often touches advancement by hard labour when the workmen are busy, but failure when it's idle. The dream may ask where grinding work is the only road to what you want, and whether the source you're hewing from is being actively worked or standing abandoned.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for quarry, 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 being in a quarry and seeing the workmen busy, denotes that you will advance by hard labor.
An idle quarry, signifies failure, disappointment, and often death.
