To dream of a hermit, denotes sadness and loneliness caused by the unfaithfulness of friends.
If you are a hermit yourself, you will pursue researches into intricate subjects, and will take great interest in the discussions of the hour.
To find yourself in the abode of a hermit, denotes unselfishness toward enemies and friends alike.
