The Complete Guide to Interpreting Your Dreams

by Stearn Robinson - Tom Corbett
The meaning of this dream varies according to the action and other ele- ments, and in some as- pects it can be considered an obstacle dream; but as a general guide: clear water flowing freely from an efficient pump is a sym- bol of gratifying rewards for your efforts, but if the water was cloudy or un- clean, it portends a partial disappointment with some current plan.

To push a pump handle without get- ting results is a caution that some help which you expect will not be forth- coming.

A frozen pump signifies hard work for modest rewards, but if you successfully primed a pump, you are likely to have a pleasing albeit tem- porary stroke of luck.

An oil pump forecasts eventual great wealth; an air or bicycle pump is a sign that the solution to any problems or difficulties you may have lies within your own power.
