Windmill
A windmill — turning the free wind into useful work — often touches abundant fortune and marked contentment when running, but adversity coming unawares if broken or idle. The dream may ask where you're harnessing what's freely given into steady gain, and whether the mechanism of your prosperity is turning well or stalled toward a setback.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for windmill, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To see a windmill in operation in your dreams, foretells abundant accumulation of fortune and marked contentment
To see one broken or idle, signifies adversity coming unawares.
