The Big Dictionary of Dreams

by Martha Clarke
This figure could represent a part of your personality that you need to reform. The villain symbolizes your rebellious side and your hidden desire to abandon societal norms. On the other hand, it could show feelings of vengeance that you harbor, or your craving to interfere with someone’s plans. Equally, the dream could be caused by the desire to overcome a vice, like smoking or drinking.

Dreaming of a victim predicts that you will receive a gift or card from the person that you love.
