Banishment
Banishment in a dream is to be cast out, sent from home or country, and it carries one of the heavier weights in the old books — exile, loss, separation. The dream tends to touch the fear of being expelled from where we belong, and to ask what we dread being driven from, or what we are driving away.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for banishment, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
Evil pursues the unfortunate dreamer. If you are banished to foreign lands, death will be your portion at an early date. To banish a child, means perjury of business allies. It is a dream of fatality.
