Conjuring
Being under a spell, or casting one, often touches the question of who holds power over whom — enthralment versus the assertion of your own will. The dream may ask where you feel controlled by forces or people stronger than you, and whether you're being governed, or finding the will to govern your own ground.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for conjuring, 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 you are in a hypnotic state or under the power of others, portends disastrous results, for your enemies will enthrall you; but if you hold others under a spell you will assert decided will power in governing your surroundings.
For a young woman to dream that she is under strange influences, denotes her immediate exposure to danger, and she should beware.
To dream of seeing hypnotic and slight-of-hand performances, signifies worries and perplexities in business and domestic circles, and unhealthy conditions of state.
