Danger
Danger pressing close, with death seeming near, often touches the threshold where peril and possibility meet — the ordeal that can lift you into distinction if you come through. The dream may ask what risk you're facing, whether you can emerge from obscurity changed by it, and what's truly at stake in the passage ahead.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for danger, 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 a perilous situation, and death seems iminent,{sic} denotes that you will emerge from obscurity into places of distinction and honor; but if you should not escape the impending danger, and suffer death or a wound, you will lose in business and be annoyed in your home, and by others. If you are in love, your prospects will grow discouraging.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of being in danger, shows success in life; to shun it, misfortune.
