Seducer

A seducer — the figure of persuasive, self-serving charm — often touches being easily swayed by showy persons, with a warning against false accusation. The dream may ask where you're vulnerable to someone's flattering, manipulative pull, and whether the charm working on you serves real feeling or only someone's appetite.

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for seducer, 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

For a young woman to dream of being seduced, foretells that she will be easily influenced by showy persons.

For a man to dream that he has seduced a girl, is a warning for him to be on his guard, as there are those who will falsely accuse him. If his sweetheart appears shocked or angry under these proposals, he will find that the woman he loves is above reproach. If she consents, he is being used for her pecuniary pleasures.

Fontaine, 1862

The Golden Wheel Dream-book

If a young woman dreams that her lover's conduct is that of a gay seducer, she will find him to be very sincere in his attachment: a married woman who dreams that she is over-persuaded by a seducer to yield to his desires, will come to much honor, as such dreams work contrariwise.
