- A friend is hurt or killed in it: bad luck in your ventures, and someone's illness will distress you
- You see a riot: disappointing affairs, poor harvests and slow trade
How you felt
- Anxiety: the dream often reflects a tense atmosphere around you
- Helplessness: it may echo a sense that things are stirring beyond your control
