Pulpit
A pulpit — the raised place of preaching — often touches sorrow and vexation, with sickness and poor results if you stand in it. The dream may ask where you feel called to speak with authority over others, and whether the elevated position you've taken is bringing you grief rather than the standing it promised.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for pulpit, 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 a pulpit, denotes sorrow and vexation.
To dream that you are in a pulpit, foretells sickness, and unsatisfactory results in business or trades of any character.
Fontaine, 1862
If any one dreams of going into a pulpit, it is a sign he or she will visit a place of disrepute, as such dreams work contrariwise: for a girl to dream that she assists in ornamenting or dressing a pulpit, foretells that she will do some act that she afterwards regrets, because of an unworthy person being connected therewith.
