Innkeeper
A person who keeps a place of overnight hospitality — a host who feeds and houses travellers for the night.
An innkeeper in a dream is the dream's image of a host who feeds and houses travellers for the night. The innkeeper does not own the guests' lives; they own the room and the table for the brief stay. The dream brings the innkeeper when something in your life — a role of brief hosting, a piece of hospitality, a transitional helper figure — is currently being asked to provide a place to pause for a stranger or for yourself. An innkeeper with a clean room and a warm meal is the dream affirming the role being well kept. An innkeeper closed to a tired traveller, with no light in the window, is the dream noting that the role has been abandoned at the moment it was most needed.
