Attorney
The attorney at the bar in a dream often marks the rise of serious dispute — interests in conflict, enemies working quietly. The dream tends to touch contention that may need formal settling, and to ask where a disagreement is hardening into something that will have to be argued out rather than smoothed over.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for attorney, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To see an attorney at the bar, denotes that disputes of a serious nature will arise between parties interested in worldly things. Enemies are stealing upon you with false claims. If you see an attorney defending you, your friends will assist you in coming trouble, but they will cause you more worry than enemies.
Fontaine, 1862
(See Lawyer.) To dream you are speaking with them, shows hindrance of business, and that it requires much circumspection to insure success in your affairs. It also denotes loss of property.
