Asylum
Asylum
An asylum in a dream holds the double sense of refuge and confinement, and the old books read it as touching sickness and hard dealings overcome only through real struggle. The dream tends to ask where we seek shelter, and whether the place we have run to for safety is helping or holding us.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for asylum, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
