Affront
An affront in a dream is an insult or slight, and it often stirs the tears and hurt of being wronged. It can point to someone taking advantage of our innocence or trust. The dream tends to ask where we feel disrespected, and how we carry the sting of being treated as less than we are.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for affront, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
This is a bad dream. The dreamer is sure to shed tears and weep. For a young woman to dream that she is affronted, denotes that some unfriendly person will take advantage of her ignorance to place her in a compromising situation with a stranger, or to jeopardize her interests with a friend.
