Razor

A razor — keen-edged, useful but dangerous — often touches disagreements and contention, with bad luck if you cut yourself and harassment in fighting with one. The dream may ask where a sharp, cutting tension runs through your affairs, and whether the fine edge you're handling will be wielded with care or turn to wound you.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for razor, 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 razor, portends disagreements and contentions over troubles.

To cut yourself with one, denotes that you will be unlucky in some deal which you are about to make.

Fighting with a razor, foretells disappointing business, and that some one will keep you harassed almost beyond endurance.

A broken or rusty one, brings unavoidable distress.
