Academy
An academy holds the image of learning, and in dreams it often stirs feeling about opportunities taken or let slip. It can carry the quiet regret of doors left unopened through idleness, or the recognition that knowledge alone does not guarantee the result we hoped for. The dream asks what we wish we had pursued.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for academy, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To visit an academy in your dreams, denotes that you will regret opportunities that you have let pass through sheer idleness and indifference.
To think you own, or are an inmate of one, you will find that you are to meet easy defeat of aspirations. You will take on knowledge, but be unable to rightly assimilate and apply it.
For a young woman or any person to return to an academy after having finished there, signifies that demands will be made which the dreamer may find himself or her self unable to meet.
