garret
n.
section of a house situated under the roof, attic; (British slang) head
Attic
An attic is an area found directly below the
roof of a building or house (also called ,
loft, hayloft and sky parlor). As attics fill the space between the ceiling of the top floor of a building and most often a slanted roof, they are known for being awkwardly shaped spaces with exposed
rafters and difficult-to-access corners. While some attics are converted as
bedrooms or
home offices, complete with
windows and
staircases, most attics remain hard to get to and neglected, and are typically used for storage. Attics can also help control temperature in a house by providing a large mass of unmoving air. Hot air rising from lower floors of a building often gets trapped in the attic, further compounding their reputation for inhospitability. However in recent years many attics have been insulated to help decrease heating costs.

About
Garret
To dream of climbing to a garret, denotes your inclination to run after theories while leaving the cold realities of life to others less able to bear them than yourself. To the poor, this dream is an omen of easier circumstances. To a woman, it denotes that her vanity and sefishness[sic] should be curbed.
