Law and Lawsuits

A lawsuit often touches conflict dragged into formal contest — enemies poisoning opinion against you, the long grind of legal dispute. The dream may ask who is turning others against you, whether you're the wronged party or the aggressor, and how a quarrel that's escaped private bounds threatens your standing and your peace.

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for law and lawsuits, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901

Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted

To dream of engaging in a lawsuit, warns you of enemies who are poisoning public opinion against you. If you know that the suit is dishonest on your part, you will seek to dispossess true owners for your own advancement.

If a young man is studying law, he will make rapid rise in any chosen profession.

For a woman to dream that she engages in a law suit, means she will be calumniated, and find enemies among friends.
