Tomb
A tomb — the sealed resting place of the dead — often touches sadness and disappointment in business, with sickness in dilapidated ones and unpleasant duties in the inscriptions. The dream may ask where an ending or loss is weighing on you, and whether the still, sealed grief you're standing before is asking to be quietly acknowledged.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for tomb, 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 seeing tombs, denotes sadness and disappointments in business.
Dilapidated tombs omens death or desperate illness.
To dream of seeing your own tomb, portends your individual sickness or disappointments.
To read the inscription on tombs, foretells unpleasant duties.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of visiting a large and magnificent tomb-stone foreshadows that you will fall in love with some one above you in social position: visiting a cemetery or grave-yard in your dream, is a sign that your turn will soon come to join the matrimonial ranks.
Anonymous, 1894
Tombs.—To dream of being amongst the tombs denotes a speedy marriage, great success in business, and the gaining of a lawsuit; also the birth of children, and unexpected news.
