Challenge
To be challenged to a duel in a dream marks becoming involved in a social difficulty one is compelled to face. The dream tends to touch the gauntlet thrown down, the forced confrontation over honour or standing, and to ask what we are being called out to answer for, and whether we will meet the challenge or refuse the ground.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for challenge, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
If you are challenged to fight a duel, you will become involved in a social difficulty wherein you will be compelled to make apologies or else lose friendships.
To accept a challenge of any character, denotes that you will bear many ills yourself in your endeavor to shield others from dishonor.
