Monk
A monk — withdrawn, vowed, set apart — often touches family dissension and unpleasant journeys, or gossip and deceit aimed at you. The dream may ask where discord is fracturing your household, and whether the solitary, renouncing figure mirrors a loss or illness you fear, or a retreat you're being pulled toward.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for monk, 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 seeing a monk, foretells dissensions in the family and unpleasant journeyings. To a young woman, this dream signifies that gossip and deceit will be used against her.
To dream that you are a monk, denotes personal loss and illness.
