Sugar-tongs
Sugar-tongs — for handling something sweet at a delicate remove — often touch disagreeable tidings of wrongdoing reaching you. The dream may ask where unwelcome news of someone's misconduct is about to reach you, and whether you can receive the report with care, holding it at a distance rather than letting it sour more than it must.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for sugar-tongs, 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 sugar-tongs, foretells that disagreeable tidings of wrong-doings will be received by you.
