Victim

Being the victim of a scheme often touches being oppressed and overpowered by enemies, with strained family relations, while victimizing others means wealth amassed dishonourably. The dream may ask where you feel preyed upon or are doing the preying, and whether the imbalance of power you're caught in brings sorrow to everyone near it.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for victim, 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 that you are the victim of any scheme, foretells that you will be oppressed and over-powered by your enemies. Your family relations will also be strained.

To victimize others, denotes that you will amass wealth dishonorably and prefer illicit relations, to the sorrow of your companions.
