Study
A small room in the home set aside for reading and writing — the household's quiet single-person workplace.
A study in a dream is the dream's image of the household's quiet single-person workplace. The study is not the bedroom and not the parlour; the study is the room where one person closes the door, sits at the desk, and does the work that requires sustained uninterrupted attention. The dream brings the study when something in your life — a private piece of work, a long correspondence, a habit of thought that needs the door closed — is being maintained by a kept room in your interior. A study found in good order, the lamp lit and the desk clear, is the dream affirming the kept space. A study used as storage, the desk piled with what should be elsewhere, is the dream noting that the room set aside for solitary work has been taken over by other functions, and the work the room was for is no longer being done.
