Tailor
A tailor — who measures and cuts to fit — often touches worries over a journey to be made, with quarrels if one takes your measure. The dream may ask where being sized up and fitted to someone's expectations is causing friction, and whether an upcoming trip, or the scrutiny of being measured, is stirring more disagreement than you'd like.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for tailor, 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 tailor, denotes that worries will arise on account of some journey to be made.
To have a misunderstanding with one, shows that you will be disappointed in the outcome of some scheme.
For one to take your measure, denotes that you will have quarrels and disagreements.
Fontaine, 1862
If a girl dreams that she has a tailor for her beau, and is pleased with him, it is a sign that she will marry a softly sort of a fellow, who will allow her to be both master and mistress after marriage.
