Fear in dreams is generally a bad omen and forewarns of unhappy events and ill luck in someone's waking life. To be afraid of someone or something in your dream denotes anxiety and uneasiness in your waking life.
If you dream that you are afraid of entering a new business, affair or anxious about taking up a journey, this means that you are going to face failure and problems in your personal life.
If you have a dream about other people being afraid of something, this means that you will cause trouble to some of your friends by asking their help.
