Seamstress

A seamstress — patiently stitching by hand — often touches being deterred from pleasant visits by unexpected luck. The dream may ask where a turn of fortune, even a good one, is keeping you from the easy pleasures you'd planned, and whether the painstaking work in front of you is worth the social ease it's quietly costing you.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say
