Garret
A garret — the cold, high room under the roof — often touches the pull toward theory while leaving life's realities to others. The dream may ask where you're climbing into abstraction and ideas, whether you're neglecting the practical ground below, and what vanity or detachment the lonely height is quietly encouraging in you.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for garret, 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 climbing to a garret, denotes your inclination to run after theories while leaving the cold realities of life to others less able to bear them than yourself. To the poor, this dream is an omen of easier circumstances. To a woman, it denotes that her vanity and sefishness{sic} should be curbed.
