Enemy
En´e`my
ENEMY, international law. By this term is understood the whole body of a
nation at war with another. It also signifies a citizen or subject of such a
nation, as when we say an alien enemy. In a still more extended sense, the
word includes any of the subjects or citizens of a state in amity with the
United States, who, have commenced, or have made preparations for commencing
hostilities against the United States; and also the citizens or subjects of
a state in amity with the United States, who are in the service of a state
at war with them. Salk. 635; Bac. Ab. Treason, G.
2. An enemy cannot, as a general rule, enter into any contract which
can be enforced in the courts of law; but the rule is not without
exceptions; as, for example, when a state permits expressly its own citizens
to trade with the enemy; and perhaps a contract for necessaries, or for
money to enable the individual to get home, might be enforced. 7 Pet. R.
586.
3. An alien enemy cannot, in general, sue during the war, a citizen of
the United States, either in the courts of, the United States, or those of
the several states. 1 Kent, Com. 68; 15 John. R. 57 S. C. 16 John. R. 438.

Index, h.t.
4. By the term enemy is also understood, a person who is desirous of
doing injury to another. The Latins had two terms to signify these two
classes of persons; the first, or the public enemy, they called hostis, and
the latter, or the private enemy, inimicus.
To see your enemy in your dream,
represents opposing ideas and contradictory attitudes.
It also indicates something that you are in denial about or someone whom you are rejecting.
Enemies may also represent the enemies within and your inner conflict with yourself.
To dream that you are dealing with the enemies,
represents a resolution to some inner conflict or waking life problem.
