What does it mean to dream of enemies?
Dreaming of fighting with an enemy suggests an inner struggle.
If the enemy in your dream is clearly represented by someone you know, such a dream may also indicate a deep-seated hostility towards that person.
Dreaming of being defeated by an enemy indicates that in real life, you will find ways to defeat your opponent through your own efforts and achieve success.
Dreaming of an enemy attacking you indicates a happy love life or a prosperous career and business.
Dreaming of being injured by an enemy indicates good luck, good health, and increased income.
If a businessman dreams of hugging an enemy, it foretells a reconciliation and a shared market. However, if a dream involves injuring or stabbing an enemy, it suggests business may suffer setbacks and become stagnant.

Case Study of Dreaming of Enemies
[Dream Example 1]
I dreamed of a duel with an enemy. We were about the same height and had comparable physical strength. Unexpectedly, I had the upper hand at the start, but eventually, my strength wore off and I lost. Despite this, I felt resentful. (Male, 30 years old)
Dream Interpretation: Enemies in dreams represent good luck, prosperity, and success. They are auspicious signs, foreshadowing the arrival of good fortune. Dreaming of an enemy invading indicates prosperity and success in business. Dreaming of being defeated by an enemy indicates that you will triumph over competition and become the winner.
Dreaming of a spy symbolizes adventure and secrecy. Dreaming of captives suggests you’re overworked.
[Dream Example 2]
That was clearly a rival, a longtime enemy. But when I saw him approaching, I felt a sudden urge to kiss him, and so I did. (Female, 19 years old)
Dream Interpretation: Perhaps in real life, you actually have someone you consider an enemy, but deep down, you might believe he’s not as bad as you imagined, perhaps even a little endearing, and even harbor a certain affection for him. Perhaps he’s offended you over some trivial matter, and to preserve your so-called self-esteem, you’ve labeled him an “enemy.” Why bother? The people you love most are often the ones you want to mess with the most. Since you’ve already forgiven him in your heart, why not tell others about it? Only open-mindedness and generosity can make your life and soul more beautiful and fulfilling.
[Dream Example 3]
In my dream, I was attacked by an enemy and fled to the river. There’s a raft in the river, with a thatched hut on top, seemingly a temporary home for a floating dweller. I lurked beneath the raft and peered into the hut. It was empty, seemingly a place I could live, but I didn’t. (Male, 20 years old)
Dream Interpretation: This dream contains four main imagery: enemies, the river, the raft, and the hut. The raft on the river represents a small environment. The hut symbolizes a house and, in this case, family. The raft also represents family here. The river represents a life of wandering and instability. The enemy symbolizes danger.
This dream suggests that you may be considering a relationship with a girl, but you believe your future is uncertain and unstable, and you’re not entirely satisfied with her, so you’ve decided to drift downstream. The river separates the land, so it also symbolizes obstacles and boundaries.
