Cloister
A cloister — enclosed, hushed, set apart from the world — often touches the pull toward withdrawal, and a dissatisfaction with where you currently stand. The dream may ask whether you long to retreat from your surroundings, and what solitude, or what quiet sacrifice, you imagine might reshape you.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for cloister, 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 a cloister, omens dissatisfaction with present surroundings, and you will soon seek new environments. For a young woman to dream of a cloister, foretells that her life will be made unselfish by the chastening of sorrow.
