Teakettle
A teakettle — coming to the boil with a whistle — often touches sudden news likely to distress you, with unexpected favour for a woman who pours cold water from one. The dream may ask where something heating quietly is about to announce itself, and whether the news rising to a whistle will scald you or pour out cool and welcome.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for teakettle, 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 you see a teakettle, implies sudden news which will be likely to distress you. For a woman to pour sparkling, cold water from a teakettle, she will have unexpected favor shown her.
