If you dream that you meet an ascetic, someone who denies himself or herself earthly pleasures, or that you are practicing asceticism, it may be a sign that you are feeling guilty about overindulging in a pleasurable activity, such as eating, drinking, having sex or spending money, or that you are concerned that you will overindulge in the future.
On the other hand, a dream of an ascetic could be a message that you have been working too hard and denying yourself pleasure. You need to take time to relax and enjoy the good things in life.
Ascetics usually deny themselves pleasure for religious reasons; they hope that by turning their minds from mundane things it will be easier for them to focus on spiritual matters. Therefore, a dream about an ascetic or about asceticism may be a sign that you are approaching a stage in your life when you are ready to look at things from a more religious or spiritual viewpoint.
