Vow
A vow — a binding promise — often touches a complaint of unfaithfulness in business or love, with disastrous consequences if you break it, though steadfast integrity if it's sacred. The dream may ask where you're pledging or being held to your word, and whether you can carry the commitment through with the constancy it demands.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for vow, 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 that you are making or listening to vows, foretells complaint will be made against you of unfaithfulness in business, or some love contract. To take the vows of a church, denotes you will bear yourself with unswerving integrity through some difficulty.
To break or ignore a vow, foretells disastrous consequences will attend your dealings.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream that you have made a vow and broken it, is bad to all.
