Roof
A roof overhead suggests the structures that shelter your sense of self — how secure you feel in the life you've built. When it's sturdy, there's confidence; when it tilts or falls, perhaps you're wondering whether success alone can hold you, or if something deeper must.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for roof, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To find yourself on a roof in a dream, denotes unbounded success. To become frightened and think you are falling, signifies that, while you may advance, you will have no firm hold on your position.
To see a roof falling in, you will be threatened with a sudden calamity.
To repair, or build a roof, you will rapidly increase your fortune.
To sleep on one, proclaims your security against enemies and false companions. Your health will be robust.
