To see elbows in a dream, signifies that arduous labors will devolve upon you, and for which you will receive small reimbursements. For a young woman, this is a prognostic of favorable opportunities to make a reasonably wealthy marriage. If the elbows are soiled, she will lose a good chance of securing a home by marriage.
