Convicts
Convicts often touch confinement, judgment, and the weight of having been found guilty — by others or by yourself. The dream may ask where you feel sentenced or shamed, what affair you're worrying over, and whether the guilt you're carrying is truly yours or a character you've been mistakenly cast into.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for convicts, 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 seeing convicts, denotes disasters and sad news. To dream that you are a convict, indicates that you will worry over some affair; but you will clear up all mistakes.
For a young woman to dream of seeing her lover in the garb of a convict, indicates she will have cause to question the character of his love.
