Sweet Oil
Sweet oil — smooth, soothing, emollient — often touches considerate treatment being withheld from you in some unfortunate occurrence. The dream may ask where you're meeting hardness where you'd hoped for gentleness, and whether the kindness you needed in a difficult turn is being denied, leaving friction where care would have helped.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for sweet oil, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
