Ten Thousand Dream Dictionary

by Pamela Ball
Temptation is a conflict between two different drives.

For instance, in dreams we may experience a conflict between the need to go out into the world and the need to stay safe at home. Temptation is yielding to that which is easiest and not necessarily the best course of action.

Intellectually, when presented with options of action we may tend to go for a result which gives short-term satisfaction, rather than long-term.

The idea of giving in to temptation suggests that it is bigger or more powerful than we are. Often dreams can show us the course of action we should be taking.

3- Temptation is one of the biggest spiritual barriers we must overcome. Often it is a conflict between the Self and the Ego (See Introduction). Christ’s temptation by Satan is a good example of this.

Ten Thousand Dream Interpretation

by Gustavus Hindman Miller
To dream that you are surrounded by temptations, denotes that you will be involved in some trouble with an envious person who is trying to displace you in the confidence of friends.

If you resist them, you will be successful in some affair in which you have much opposition.
