Fiend

A fiend often touches the threat of corruption — false friends, loose living, a reputation under attack from within or without. The dream may ask where an evil influence is pressing on you, whether you can master the menace rather than be mastered, and what designs of others you might intercept by facing the dark figure head-on.

Miller 1901

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
