Hermit
A hermit often touches solitude and withdrawal — loneliness from friends' unfaithfulness, or a chosen retreat into deep study and unselfishness. The dream may ask where you feel set apart, whether the aloneness was forced on you or sought, and what intricate inner work or quiet generosity the removed, solitary life is offering you.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for hermit, 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 a hermit, denotes sadness and loneliness caused by the unfaithfulness of friends.
If you are a hermit yourself, you will pursue researches into intricate subjects, and will take great interest in the discussions of the hour.
To find yourself in the abode of a hermit, denotes unselfishness toward enemies and friends alike.
