Turpentine
Turpentine — pungent, used to clean and heal — often touches unprofitable, discouraging engagements, though binding it to another's wound brings friendship through kindness. The dream may ask where something harsh but useful is in play, and whether you can turn an unpromising stretch toward goodwill by tending the difficulty.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for turpentine, 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 turpentine, foretells your near future holds unprofitable and discouraging engagements. For a woman to dream that she binds turpentine to the wound of another, shows she will gain friendships and favor through her benevolent acts.
