Dreaming of a tannery suggests exposure to illness or contagion may be a concern, and difficulties in business dealings could follow. If you find yourself working as a tanner in the dream, you may soon be stuck in a role or job that doesn't suit you — yet others will be counting on you to push through. Purchasing leather from a tannery signals that your efforts will pay off in the end, though don't expect to win many allies along the way.
