FIEND

Spiritual Meaning:
Technically the opposite of friend, a fiend is a manifestation of Satan as the enemy of mankind. In dreams a fiend can symbolize the enemy within, that part of us that resists spiritual development.

Psychological / Emotional Perspective:
We may be afraid of our own passions, anger and fear. As a fiery creature and initially a symbol for evil, the fiend is a manifestation of those emotions. It is possible in dreams to confront such a creature.

Everyday Material Aspects:
To dream of a fiend or devil usually means that we have got to come to terms with a part of ourselves that is frightening and unknown. We need to confront this part and make it work for us rather than against us.

Gender / Specific Meanings:
In a woman’s dream a fiend may manifest as all the unexpressed frustration that she is experiencing. In a man’s dream such a figure will be more overtly aggressive.
