Ramrod

A ramrod — for driving the charge home — often touches unfortunate adventures and cause for grief, with a dear friend or lover failing you if it's bent or broken. The dream may ask where a venture is misfiring, and whether the tool you'd counted on to drive things through has buckled, leaving you grieving a support you'd trusted.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for ramrod, 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 a ramrod, denotes unfortunate adventures. You will have cause for grief. For a young woman to see one bent or broken, foretells that a dear friend or lover will fail her.
