Pardon
Seeking pardon for an offense you never committed often touches trouble that seems justified but proves to be for your advancement. The dream may ask where you're laboring under blame that isn't truly yours, and whether the reckoning you dread might, in the end, turn out to lift rather than lower you.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for pardon, 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 that you are endeavoring to gain pardon for an offense which you never committed, denotes that you will be troubled, and seemingly with cause, over your affairs, but it will finally appear that it was for your advancement. If offense was committed, you will realize embarrassment in affairs.
To receive pardon, you will prosper after a series of misfortunes.

Fontaine, 1862
To dream of asking pardon for an offence, is a bad omen under any circumstances, as it foretells humiliation and disgrace: for a criminal to imagine, in his dream, that the Governor has pardoned him, is a sign that he will not only not be pardoned, but that he will suffer much remorse and unhappiness in his imprisonment.
