Briars
To be caught among briars in a dream is to be hemmed in by thorns, and the old books read it as enemies weaving calumny around us, a pricking that wounds. The dream tends to touch the sharp, entangling troubles that hold us fast, and to ask what tangle of ill-will or difficulty has closed around us.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for briars, 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 yourself caught among briars, black enemies are weaving cords of calumny and perjury intricately around you and will cause you great distress, but if you succeed in disengaging yourself from the briars, loyal friends will come to your assistance in every emergency.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream that you are among briars and get pricked, foretells that you will have an angry dispute with somebody. If a young girl who has a lover dreams it, she will probably get vexed at him.
