Screw
A screw — fastening tight by tedious turning — often touches dull tasks that must be done and peevish companions to be borne, with a call to economy and care. The dream may ask where slow, painstaking work and trying company are testing your patience, and whether you can keep turning, steady, until the tedious thing is fixed in place.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for screw, 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 screws, denotes that tedious tasks must be performed, and peevishness in companions must be combated. It also denotes that you must be economical and painstaking.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of a small screw, is a good sign, and indicates success in all you undertake; but to dream of a large bed-screw portends trouble brought about by love affairs.
