Thimble
A thimble — small shield for the working finger — often touches having many besides yourself to please, with poverty if you lose it but contentment in a new one. The dream may ask where you're protecting yourself just enough to keep doing patient work for others, and whether the small guard you wear is intact or worn through.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for thimble, 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 use a thimble in your dreams, you will have many others to please besides yourself. If a woman, you will have your own position to make.
To lose one, foretells poverty and trouble. To see an old or broken one, denotes that you are about to act unwisely in some momentous affair.
To receive or buy a new thimble, portends new associations in which you will find contentment.
To dream that you use an open end thimble, but find that it is closed, denotes that you will have trouble, but friends will aid you in escaping its disastrous consequences.
