Gaol
A gaol — confinement — often touches being held back from profitable work by envious others, while escape signals a turn toward favourable business. The dream may ask where you feel imprisoned by others' resentment, what good work their interference blocks, and whether breaking free might open a more prosperous season.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for gaol, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
If you dream of being confined in a gaol, you will be prevented from carrying forward some profitable work by the intervention of envious people; but if you escape from the gaol, you will enjoy a season of favorable business.
