Inquest
An inquest — the formal inquiry into a death or wrong — often touches misfortune in friendships and the unsettling of what felt secure. The dream may ask where something has ended that's now being examined, whose loyalty an investigation might expose, and how cold official scrutiny is unsettling bonds you'd assumed sound.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for inquest, 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 an inquest, foretells you will be unfortunate in your friendships.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream that you are present at a coroner's inquest, is a bad sign; you will soon squander your fortune.
