Tenpins
Tenpins — the game of knocking down what's set up — often touches an affair bringing discredit on your name, with lost money and friendship. The dream may ask where a careless pursuit is toppling things you should value, and whether the diverting game you've been drawn into is worth the standing and true friends it threatens to scatter.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for tenpins, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
If you dream at playing at tenpins, you will doubtless soon engage in some affair which will bring discredit upon your name, and you will lose your money and true friendship.
To see others engaged in this dream, foretells that you will find pleasure in frivolous people and likely lose employment.
For a young woman to play a successful game of tenpins, is an omen of light pleasures, but sorrow will attend her later.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of playing ten-pins, foretells disgrace; if the centre pin falls, one of the players will die; if many pins fall, all of the players will suffer loss.
