Tape
Tape — measuring or binding in a thin strip — often touches wearisome, unprofitable work, with oppression laid on a woman who buys it. The dream may ask where a long, tedious task is consuming your effort for little return, and whether the dull labour you're unspooling is worth continuing or simply binding misfortune tighter around you.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for tape, 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 tape, denotes your work will be wearisome and unprofitable. For a woman to buy it, foretells she will find misfortune laying oppression upon her.
