Plank
For a young woman to dream that she is walking across muddy water on a rotten plank, denotes that she will feel keenly the indifference shown her by one she loves, or other troubles may arise; or her defence of honor may be in danger of collapse.

Walking a good, sound plank, is a good omen, but a person will have to be unusually careful in conduct after such a dream.
