A distant land in a dream often stands for the unfamiliar and the testing — territory beyond our usual ground. Surrounded by hostility there, the dream can mirror feeling beset by opposition or quarrelsome forces. It tends to ask where we feel out of our element, pressed by those who do not wish us well.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for africa, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

To dream that you are in Africa surrounded by Cannibals, foretells that you will be oppressed by enemies and quarrelsome persons.
