Iron
Heat, pressure and a little steam turn a crumpled shirt into something fit to wear, and that's the core of an iron dream. It's often about preparation and care: getting ready for an occasion, or putting in the quiet effort that others rarely notice. Ironing for someone else can come from looking after people in small, practical ways. A scorch mark suggests you've pushed too hard on a sensitive matter. Worrying that you left the iron on is a familiar sign of a thought you can't switch off. An ironing board that won't stand up straight hints that your routine has lost some support.
Also called: Clothes iron, Ironing, Ironing board
