About
Hydrophobia
To dream that you are afflicted with hydrophobia, denotes enemies and change of business.
To see others thus afflicted, your work will be interrupted by death or ungrateful dependence.
To dream that an animal with the rabies bites you, you will be betrayed by your dearest friend, and much scandal will be brought to light.
