Convent

A convent often touches the longing for refuge — a place set apart from care and from enemies, free of worldly noise. The dream may ask where you're seeking shelter from the demands of the world, whether that sanctuary would truly quiet your mind, and what you'd be asked to leave outside its walls.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

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

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901

Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted

To dream of seeking refuge in a convent, denotes that your future will be signally free from care and enemies, unless on entering the building you encounter a priest. If so, you will seek often and in vain for relief from worldly cares and mind worry.
