Dream Symbol: enemy (against)

enemy (against)

  • A real, imagined, or feared person
  • A general concept that you are against or afraid of, or that you feel is antagonistic to you or your well being

To be "against something" or "against someone," meaning to have bad will towards them, often represents the same actual feeling in yourself. Consider what you are feeling against in the dream and how it could be referring to your real life, your fears, or your imagination right now. Possibilities include:

  • You are angry at them, do not like them, or you want them to do poorly in order for you to gain something
  • You see yourself as different from them or want to avoid them or distance yourself from them
  • You are judging characteristics in them because you actually judge those characteristics in yourself

Tips to Understand Dream Meaning

Dream symbol meanings are different for each person. It's IMPORTANT to consider:

  • Personal meaning - What the dream symbol means to you, what it reminds you of, how it makes you feel.
  • Context - How the dream symbol appears in the dream. For example, in a dream about a bee - what was the bee doing, how and where it was doing it, and how did you feel about it?
  • Look beyond the obvious - A dream is often about something other than its obvious meaning. Physical events in the dream commonly represent mental or emotional matters.
