Contempt
Contempt often touches the sting of disregard — being held low by others, or fearing the judgment of a court or a circle. The dream may ask where you feel scorned or exposed to censure, whether it's deserved, and how the regard of others is weighing on your sense of your own standing.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for contempt, 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 of being in contempt of court, denotes that you have committed business or social indiscretion and that it is unmerited.
To dream that you are held in contempt by others, you will succeed in winning their highest regard, and will find yourself prosperous and happy. But if the contempt is merited, your exile from business or social circles is intimated.
