Waste
Wandering through waste places often touches doubt and failure where success once looked bright, with domestic encumbrance if you waste your fortune, and beggary if you cause the waste. The dream may ask where you find yourself in barren, used-up country, and whether the emptiness is the result of squandering or a stretch you can cross.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for waste, 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 wandering through waste places, foreshadows doubt and failure, where promise of success was bright before you.
To dream of wasting your fortune, denotes you will be unpleasantly encumbered with domestic cares.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of waste is a sign of beggary, provided you are the cause of the waste; but if you feel bad and try to prevent it, the omen is one of losses, which may not end in beggary.
