Pall-bearer

A pall-bearer — carrying the dead to rest — often touches an enemy provoking your ill feeling by attacking your integrity. The dream may ask where someone's persistent assaults on your character are stirring resentment in you, and whether you risk making yourself obnoxious to friends in the bristling response.
