Scythe
A scythe — the long blade that cuts down the standing crop — often touches accidents or sickness preventing you from your affairs, with separation or failure in a broken one. The dream may ask where something is poised to cut your plans short, and whether an interruption to your health is about to fell what you'd meant to gather.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for scythe, 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 scythe, foretells accidents or sickness will prevent you from attending to your affairs, or making journeys. An old or broken scythe, implies separation from friends, or failure in some business enterprise.
