An abbess in a dream is about authority: something you give in to reluctantly, unless she is kind.

What happens in the dream

  • A smiling, kindly abbess: true friends and pleasing prospects
  • You see an abbess: unpleasant tasks, and giving in to authority after a failed rebellion

How you felt

  • Irritation or rebellion: the dream may reflect an authority that weighs on you
  • Calm: it may express a need for gentle guidance

Ask yourself

  • What rule or authority am I struggling to accept right now?
