Dream Interpretation | To be in a printing office in dreams, denotes that slander and contumely will threaten you. To run a printing office is indicative of hard luck. For a young woman to dream that her sweetheart is connected with a printing office, denotes that she will have a lover who is unable to lavish money or time upon her, and she will not be sensible enough to see why he is so stingy.
