To dream of being in a dungeon, foretells for you struggles with the vital affairs of life but by wise dealing you will disenthrall yourself of obstacles and the designs of enemies. For a woman this is a dark foreboding; by her wilful indiscretion she will lose her position among honorable people.
To see a dungeon lighted up, portends that you are threatened with entanglements of which your better judgment warns you.
Take a question into your day.
