Abject
To feel abject in a dream — low, defeated, stripped of standing — often arrives when effort has met discouragement. It can mark a pause in the long climb, a moment of gloom before momentum returns. The dream tends not to be a verdict but a low point worth noticing, and moving through rather than settling into.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for abject, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream that you are abject, denotes that you will be the recipient of gloomy tidings, which will cause a relaxation in your strenuous efforts to climb the heights of prosperity.
To see others abject, is a sign of bickerings and false dealings among your friends.
