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.

Original source (English)
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. If a man dreams of seducing a virtuous girl, it foreshadows that he will be disgraced.
