Washer Woman
A washer woman — labouring over others' soiled linen — often touches a strange adventure, but expanding trade and fine crops for the business man or farmer. The dream may ask where humble, cleansing work is in view, and whether the figure scrubbing what others dirtied points toward an odd turn or, for the practical-minded, toward plenty.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for washer woman, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
A washer woman seen in dreams, represents infidelity and a strange adventure. For the business man, or farmer, this dream indicates expanding trade and fine crops. For a woman to dream that she is a washer woman, denotes that she will throw decorum aside in her persistent effort to hold the illegal favor of men.
