(Leather dying factory) A tannery in a dream has the same interpretation as that of a slaughterhouse. It also represents a school, a fellowship house, or similar places where the mind and spirit are taught and reared to correct oneself, to hold to what is true, and to discard what is false. A tannery in a dream also represents a patient, forbearing, and hard-working woman, a housekeeper, or a child. Perhaps a tannery in a dream also could denote a harsh, wretched, and contemptible woman, though she likes cleanliness and guards herself from others' impurities. (Also see Dye, Vat)
