Office

An office can represent the architecture of ambition — the desire to be recognized, to hold authority, to matter in a structured world. Sometimes the dream asks whether you're building toward something genuine or merely pursuing the validation of a title that feels hollow once achieved.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for office, 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

For a person to dream that he holds office, denotes that his aspirations will sometimes make him undertake dangerous paths, but his boldness will be rewarded with success. If he fails by any means to secure a desired office he will suffer keen disappointment in his affairs.

To dream that you are turned out of office, signifies loss of valuables.
