Domain	Definition
Bible	Inn in the modern sense, unknown in the East. The khans or caravanserais, which correspond to the European inn, are not alluded to in the Old Testament. The "inn" mentioned in Ex. 4:24 was just the halting-place of the caravan. In later times khans were erected for the accommodation of travellers. In Luke 2:7 the word there so rendered denotes a place for loosing the beasts of their burdens. It is rendered "guest-chamber" in Mark 14:14 and Luke 22:11. In Luke 10:34 the word so rendered is different. That inn had an "inn-keeper," who attended to the wants of travellers. Source: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary.
Dream Interpretation	To dream of an inn, denotes prosperity and pleasures, if the inn is commodious and well furnished. To be at a dilapidated and ill kept inn, denotes poor success, or mournful tasks, or unhappy journeys. Source: Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted ....
Literature	Inn (Anglo-Saxon). Chamber; originally applied to a mansion, like the French hotel. Hence Clifford's Inn, once the mansion of De Clifford; Lincoln's Inn, the mansion of the Earls of Lincoln; Gray's Inn, that of the Lords Gray, etc. "Now, whenas Phoebus, with his fiery waine. Unto his inne began to draw a pace." Spenser: Faërie Queene, vi. 3. Source: Brewer's Dictionary.
