Corner

A corner often touches the instinct to hide — pressing yourself into a tight, safe angle, or sensing others conferring just out of earshot. The dream may ask where you feel cornered or afraid, who might be conspiring beyond your view, and whether someone you trust as a friend is quietly turning against your interest.

Miller 1901

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
