If you dream of practicing asceticism — renouncing pleasure, comfort, or worldly indulgence — it suggests you may be drawn toward unconventional beliefs or a way of living that sets you apart from those around you. This path has a certain magnetism; people who don't know you well may find your discipline and intensity intriguing. Those closest to you, however, may grow distant, put off by an austerity that feels cold or alienating in intimate relationships.
