Original source (English)
To dream of Satan, foretells that you will have some dangerous adventures, and you will be forced to use strategy to keep up honorable appearances.
To dream that you kill him, foretells that you will desert wicked or immoral companions to live upon a higher plane.
If he comes to you under the guise of literature, it should be heeded as a warning against promiscuous friendships, and especially flatterers.
If he comes in the shape of wealth or power, you will fail to use your influence for harmony, or the elevation of others.
If he takes the form of music, you are likely to go down before his wiles.
If in the form of a fair woman, you will probably crush every kindly feeling you may have for the caresses of this moral monstrosity.
To feel that you are trying to shield yourself from satan, denotes that you will endeavor to throw off the bondage of selfish pleasure, and seek to give others their best deserts. See Devil.
