To dream of seeing a friend on the gallows of execution, foretells that desperate emergencies must be met with decision, or a great calamity will befall you. To dream that you are on a gallows, denotes that you will suffer from the maliciousness of false friends. For a young woman to dream that she sees her lover executed by this means, denotes that she will marry an unscrupulous and designing man. If you rescue any one from the gallows, it portends desirable acquisitions. To dream that you hang an enemy, denotes victory in all spheres.
