Art Gallery

An art gallery in a dream is a place of looking and judging beauty, and the old books read visiting one as touching unfortunate matches in love or company. The dream tends to ask what we are drawn to admire, and whether our taste is leading us toward something fine or something that will not last.

Miller 1901
