Hermitage
A small dwelling for one person living a religious life alone — a chosen solitude built into the architecture.
A hermitage in a dream is the dream's image of a chosen solitude built into the architecture. The hermitage is small; the one room is the design. The dream brings the hermitage when something in your life — a long retreat, a season of deliberate withdrawal, a phase of interior work — has been given a physical frame whose smallness is the point. A hermitage inhabited with the right kind of attention is the dream affirming the chosen alone. A hermitage that has become a hiding place from a life that is asking to be returned to is the dream noting that the structure for solitude is being used past what solitude was supposed to be for.
