To dream that you are an abbot, warns you that treacherous plots are being laid for your downfall.
If you see this pious man in devotional exercises, it forewarns you of smooth flattery and deceit pulling you a willing victim into the meshes of artful bewilderment.
For a young woman to talk with an abbot, portends that she will yield to insinuating flatteries, and in yielding she will besmirch her reputation.
If she marries one, she will uphold her name and honor despite poverty and temptation.
