that issues from between the two grinding stones represents sperms or children.

a rivulet, or a windmill. If one sees a mill grinding human beings in a dream,
it means loss of lives and adversities. If one sees a mill grinding something that
is not edible in a dream, it means drought and rising prices. If the amount of
flour coming from the mill is plentiful in the dream, it means lowering of prices,
or recovering from an illness. Grinding lupine seeds, henna seeds, potash,

Hand mill
(Laboring; Livelihood; Millstone; Travel) A hand mill in a dream means
overcoming distress, pain, or satisfying one’s needs. It could also mean richness
after poverty, marriage, a servant, or moving into a new house. If someone sees
a hand mill in a house that is not accustomed to grinding its own grain or spices
in a dream, it means adversities, defeat, or arguments. If one then grinds bread,
or meat or honey with in the dream, it denotes a despicable character of the
people of that house, their falsehood, affectation, lesbian or pervert nature. If
one sees a hand mill grinding stones in a dream, it means that he will be seized
by terror. If one grinds barley or grains for food in a dream, it means solving the
family’s problems, prosperity, recovering from illness, or refurbishing one’s
business. If one sees a huge hand mill in the center of a town in adream.it means
war and destruction and especially if he sees it grinding rocks or emitting fire
or sparks. Otherwise, it means a plague if the hand mill is grinding spoiled and
moldy grains, mud, or spoiled meat. If one sees the millstone tilted in a dream,
it means rising prices. If the hand mill is turning with nothing to grind in the
dream, it means toiling aimlessly. If the hand mill turns using a wheel in the
dream, it means prosperity. If one sees the hand mill turning and not grinding
in a dream, it means travels. If it turns for no useful purpose in a dream, it
denotes the nearing of one’s death. A pair of small hand grinders in a dream
represent two loathsome partners that no one can correct or guide. If one sees
himself operating a millstone by hand in a dream, it means that he earns his
livelihood following the required religious conduct, and earns his money from
his own sweat. A millstone in a dream also may denote loathsome actions. If a
prisoner sees a broken millstone in a dream, it means that he will be soon
released, and if he is under a death sentence, it means that the judgment will
be rescinded, or that he may die before the judgment is carried out. As far as
the question of livelihood, the better looking and effective is the hand mill, the
better are one’s earnings and vice-versa. If one buys a hand mill in a dream, it
means that he will get married, or that he will marry off his daughter, or that
he will travel on business. If the millstone is interpreted to mean a husband or
a wife, then it represents respectful people. A hand mill in a dream also means
comfort, relief, evil, fight, dispute, wife, servant, livelihood, travels, gourmandism,
