Saw
A saw — cutting through resistance by steady strokes — often touches an energetic, busy time and cheerful home life, with a big enterprise to oversee in machine saws. The dream may ask where persistent work is cutting through what's in your way, and whether you can keep the rhythm of the blade toward the prosperity its buzz promises.

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