An alms-house may bring up ideas of need, shelter, or dependence. In this dream, the image is tied to a young woman’s efforts to pursue a marriage for worldly reasons, with the expected union failing to come about. Consider what the building looked like and how you felt there: anxious, unwelcome, or simply observant? The setting may connect with hopes about security, status, or practical partnership. Reflecting on those associations can help you understand what the dream’s image of an unsuccessful effort means to you.
