Escape
Escape often touches release from confinement or danger — a favourable breaking free, or, if it fails, the lingering threat of enemies. The dream may ask what you're trying to get clear of, whether you slip free of it cleanly or feel the design of others closing back in, and what rise in the world a successful flight might signal.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for escape, 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 escape from injury or accidents, is usually favorable.
If you escape from some place of confinement, it signifies your rise in the world from close application to business.
To escape from any contagion, denotes your good health and prosperity. If you try to escape and fail, you will suffer from the design of enemies, who will slander and defraud you.
