Affrighted
To be suddenly affrighted in a dream is to be seized by alarm, and the jolt itself is the message. It can mark a vulnerability to mishap, a sense of being caught off guard. The dream tends to ask what startles us, and whether the fear is warning of something real or simply asking to be felt and released.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for affrighted, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream that you are affrighted, foretells that you will sustain an injury through an accident.

To see others affrighted, brings you close to misery and distressing scenes. Dreams of this nature are frequently caused by nervous and feverish conditions, either from malaria or excitement. When such is the case, the dreamer is warned to take immediate steps to remove the cause. Such dreams or reveries only occur when sleep is disturbed.
