To dream of implements in husbandry, has a variety of interpretations: to dream of a plough, denotes success in life, and a good marriage; to dream of a yoke, is unfavorable, unless it be broken; to dream of a team, death in a family, to dream of a scythe signifies sickness.

Original source (English)

THe Plough is good for marriages, procreation, and affayres, but it requireth time: the yoak is good, if not to servants, wherefore it is better for them to see it broken: the sythe is hurt, for it cutteth all, and signifyeth the time of halfe a year: the saw signifyeth the woman and her profit: the cutter of the plough, the wood, the fan, and five, is hurt, departure, and losse: the cart is the life of him that dreams it: to dream to cut vines, or reap out of time, signifyes that your busines shall be slacked to such time as men use to cut vines and mow: sheaves of corn, or like grain, are also hindrance, for this is not ready meate. Holes in the earth, ridges, or secret places of the earth where grains are sowed, or hidden, signifie the wife, the life, and the goods of him which dreamt it. Hedges, pales, ditches, set for limits and confines of inheritances, are ill: and yet to such as are in fear they signifye surety, they hinder travailing: but in other affayrs signifye ayd, friends, and support in necessity.
