Fears
Fear felt in a dream often touches anticipation curdling into doubt — engagements that may not prove as successful as hoped. The dream may ask where apprehension is shadowing what's ahead, whether the dread reflects a real shortfall or is its own obstacle, and what disappointment in love or work the fear is quietly rehearsing.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for fears, 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 feel fear from any cause, denotes that your future engagements will not prove so successful as was expected.
For a young woman, this dream forebodes disappointment and unfortunate love.
Fontaine, 1862
To feel fear, signifies that you will be courageous in your waking moments; to dream of frightening others, shows that your courage is weak.
