Laboratory
A laboratory often touches energies poured into unfruitful experiment — far-reaching projects that may never reach their gold. The dream may ask where your effort might be better spent on practical ground, what alchemy you're chasing that could prove a myth, and whether the ambitious work absorbing you is sound or leading you astray.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for laboratory, 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 being in a laboratory, denotes great energies wasted in unfruitful enterprises when you might succeed in some more practical business.
If you think yourself an alchemist, and try to discover a process to turn other things into gold, you will entertain far-reaching and interesting projects, but you will fail to reach the apex of your ambition. Wealth will prove a myth, and the woman you love will hold a false position towards you.
