Scabbard
A scabbard — the sheath that holds the blade — often touches a misunderstanding amicably settled, but overpowering difficulties if you can't find it. The dream may ask where a conflict is being safely sheathed and resolved, and whether your means of holding tension in check is at hand or lost, leaving you facing trouble without it.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for scabbard, 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 scabbard, denotes some misunderstanding will be amicably settled. If you wonder where your scabbard can be, you will have overpowering difficulties to meet.
