Stumps
Stumps — what's left after the tree is felled — often touch reverses and a departure from your usual life, with extrication from poverty if you dig them up. The dream may ask where the cut-down remnants of something once whole are cluttering your ground, and whether you have the determination to clear them and meet hard realities head-on.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for stumps, 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 stump, foretells you are to have reverses and will depart from your usual mode of living. To see fields of stumps, signifies you will be unable to defend yourself from the encroachments of adversity. To dig or pull them up, is a sign that you will extricate yourself from the environment of poverty by throwing off sentiment and pride and meeting the realities of life with a determination to overcome whatever opposition you may meet.
