Asylum
A`sy´lum
ASYLUM. A place, of refuge where debtors and criminals fled for safety.
2. At one time, in Europe, churches and other consecrated places served
as asylums, to the disgrace of the law. These never protected criminals in
the United States. It may be questioned whether the house of an ambassador
(q.v.) would not afford protection temporarily, to a person who should take
refuge there.
To dream that you are at an asylum,
signifies sickness and ill luck in store for you.
You will undergo some mental strain.
