Absalom
The figure of Absalom carries the weight of beloved betrayal and grief between those who should be closest. In a dream he can mark distressing turns within bonds we hold dear, and the particular pain of harm done where there was love. The dream tends to touch loyalty, rupture, and what cannot easily be mended.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for absalom, 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 of Absalom, is significant of distressing incidents. You may unconsciously fall a victim to error, and penetrate some well beloved heart with keen anguish and pain over the committal of immoral actions and the outraging of innocence. No flower of purity will ever be too sacred for you to breathe a passionate breath upon. To dream of this, or any other disobedient character, is a warning against immoral tendencies. A father is warned by this dream to be careful of his children.
