Ransom
A ransom paid for you often touches finding yourself deceived and worked for money on all sides, with evil for the young unless someone pays to relieve them. The dream may ask where you're being held hostage to others' demands, and whether the price extracted for your release is a genuine rescue or fresh exploitation.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for ransom, 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 a ransom is made for you, you will find that you are deceived and worked for money on all sides. For a young woman, this is prognostic of evil, unless some one pays the ransom and relieves her.
