Offering

An offering — brought or made — often touches the danger of cringing hypocrisy unless you cultivate a higher sense of duty. The dream may ask where your gestures of giving or devotion are sincere and where merely performed, and whether what you lay on the altar comes from real conviction or from a wish to appear better than you are.

Miller 1901
