Infirmary

Leaving an infirmary often touches escape — emerging from a place of sickness and out from under the wily enemies who caused you worry. The dream may ask what confinement you're stepping clear of, who has been troubling you that you're finally getting free of, and how it feels to walk out of a place of weakness back toward strength.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for infirmary, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901

Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted

To dream that you leave an infirmary, denotes your escape from wily enemies who will cause you much worry.
