To dream that you overcome enemies, denotes that you will surmount all difficulties in business, and enjoy the greatest prosperity.
If you are defamed by your enemies, it denotes that you will be threatened with failures in your work. You will be wise to use the utmost caution in proceeding in affairs of any moment.
To overcome your enemies in any form, signifies your gain. For them to get the better of you is ominous of adverse fortunes. This dream may be literal.

If you dream that some one is trying to injure you, or that a person who you know is your enemy endeavors to work to your disadvantage, it foretells good fortune and success. Such dreams always go by contrary, and you may calculate a benefit just in proportion to the injury you dream you are about to sustain.
