Sieve
A sieve — straining the fine from the coarse — often touches an annoying transaction likely to bring loss, with a chance to reverse it if the meshes are small. The dream may ask where something is slipping through while you try to keep what's worth keeping, and whether the deal you're sifting will cost you or can still be turned around.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for sieve, 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 sieve, foretells some annoying transaction will soon be made by you, which will probably be to your loss. If the meshes are too small, you will have the chance to reverse a decision unfavorable to yourself. If too large, you will eventually lose what you have recently acquired.
