Iron – An iron is a dream symbol with several meanings, as there are several different kinds of iron. If you dream of a clothing iron, the sort that uses steam to remove wrinkles from your clothes, this indicates smoothing out the details of your life. You may be working on a project, and this dream is telling you that your overall idea is solid, but there are still some details that you need to work out. A branding iron, on the other hand, is used to place a permanent scar on livestock to mark it as belonging to a particular farmer or rancher. Dreaming of this sort of iron indicates possession and dominance through force and violence, often with harm to the person being possessed and dominated.
