| Domain | Definition |
Dream Interpretation | To dream of seeing reapers busy at work at their task, denotes prosperity and contentment. If they appear to be going through dried stubble, there will be a lack of good crops, and business will consequently fall off. To see idle ones, denotes that some discouraging event will come in the midst of prosperity. To see a broken reaping machine, signifies loss of employment, or disappointment in trades.
