To dream of machinery, denotes you will undertake some project which will give great anxiety, but which will finally result in good for you.
To see old machinery, foretells enemies will overcome in your strivings to build up your fortune. To become entangled in machinery, foretells loss in your business, and much unhappiness will follow.
Loss from bad deals generally follows this dream.
