Ambush
To be set upon from ambush in a dream is to be caught by what we did not see coming. It often points to a danger lurking near, quiet until it strikes. The dream tends to ask where we have been heedless of warnings, and what waits, unnoticed, just outside our line of sight.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for ambush, 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 your are atacked{sic} from ambush, denotes that you have lurking secretly near you a danger, which will soon set upon and overthrow you if you are heedless of warnings.
If you lie in ambush to revenge yourself on others, you will unhesitatingly stoop to debasing actions to defraud your friends.
