Usurper

A usurper — seizing a place not rightly theirs — often touches trouble establishing a good title to property, with a winning struggle if others try to usurp your rights. The dream may ask where ownership or position is being contested, and whether you can defend what's genuinely yours against those reaching to take it.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

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

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901

For a young woman to have this dream, she will be a party to a spicy rivalry, in which she will win.
