In Cabbalistic symbolism, the sacred palace, or the ‘inner palace’, is
located at the junction of the six Directions of Space which, together with this
centre, form a septenary. It is, consequently, a symbol of the occult Centre—of
the ‘unmoved mover’ (28). It is also known as the ‘silver palace’, the ‘silver
thread’ being the hidden bond which joins man to his Origin and to his End (28).
This concept of the Centre embraces the heart and the mind; hence, in legends and
folktales, the palace of the old king contains secret chambers (representing the
unconscious) which hold treasure (or spiritual truths). Loeffler suggests that
palaces made of glass or of mirrors, and also those which suddenly appear as if by
magic, are specially symbolic of the ancestral memories of mankind—of the
basic, primitive awareness of the Golden Age (38).

If you are living in a palace, then it signifies that success is right within your reach.

For a young woman of moderate means to dream that she is a participant in the entertainment, and of equal social standing with others, is a sign of her advancement through marriage, or the generosity of relatives.

This is often a very deceitful and misleading dream to the young woman of humble circumstances; as it is generally induced in such cases by the unhealthy day dreams of her idle, empty brain. She should strive after this dream, to live by honest work, and restrain deceitful ambition by observing the fireside counsels of mother, and friends.
