Rattle
A baby's rattle — simple plaything of contentment — often touches peaceful home life and honourable, gainful enterprise, with early marriage for the young. The dream may ask where small, innocent contentment is settling over your household, and whether you can hear, in the simple toy, a sign of peaceful prosperity and new cares of love.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for rattle, 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 a baby play with its rattle, omens peaceful contentment in the home, and enterprises will be honorable and full of gain. To a young woman, it augurs an early marriage and tender cares of her own.
To give a baby a rattle, denotes unfortunate investments.
