Spy-glass
A spy-glass — bringing the distant near — often touches changes coming to your disadvantage, with dissension and lost friends if broken, though some read enlarged possessions. The dream may ask what far-off thing you're straining to see, and whether the long view signals a turn against you or a widening of what you hold.
A live archive of what the world is dreaming tonight: which symbols are rising, the collective mood, and where the dreams are coming from. Free, always.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for spy-glass, 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 that you are looking through a spy-glass, denotes that changes will soon occur to your disadvantage.
To see a broken or imperfect one, foretells unhappy dissensions and loss of friends.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of looking through one of these instruments and observing objects at a distance, is a sign that you will enlarge your possessions; if you are a farmer, you will add to your farm; if a man of business, enlarge your business.
