Academy
To visit an academy in your dreams, denotes that you will regret opportunities that you have let pass through sheer idleness and indifference.
To think you own, or are an inmate of one, you will find that you are to meet easy defeat of aspirations. You will take on knowledge, but be unable to rightly assimilate and apply it.
For a young woman or any person to return to an academy after having finished there, signifies that demands will be made which the dreamer may find himself or her self unable to meet.
