End
Being at the end of a road or something else could imply that you are at your end. You have been pushing your limits, and now it is time to rest for a little while.

End of the World
See Apocalypse* for dream symbolism.
Enemy
To dream that you are against some sort of enemy can simply represent a part of yourself that you are uncomfortable with. There is likely some self-confidence issue inside of you that you are having trouble dealing with. If you have a problem with part of your personality, it is best to fix it rather than feel bad about it. Making small steps to become a better person can help to get rid of the enemy within yourself.
To dream that you defeat your enemy is a good sign. This dream suggests that you will advance in one way or another, becoming a better person for it. If you have an actual enemy in your waking life, then this dream may predict that you will overcome them in real life as well.
To dream that your enemy defeats you is a bad sign. You are letting others get the better of you. This dream could imply that you are letting your flaws outshine your good points. Try to see the good in yourself and others.
Energy
To dream that you are full of energy, as ironic as it might seem in a dream, can represent the energy you hold in your waking life. This can suggest that now is a great time to take on new opportunities. Do whatever makes you feel positive shortly, and you are sure to keep your energy levels up!
Engagement
To dream that you have been recently engaged can suggest that you are not likely to be as admired by others as you think you are. You may want to humble yourself or see things from other perspectives to understand better how people see you.
To break off an engagement is a bad sign. This dream can suggest that you have recently made a bad decision in your waking life. This was likely made quickly or without much thought beforehand. If it is possible, undoing this mistake will make life easier for you.
Engine
An engine, in a dream, can represent a person’s motivation. This mechanical thing is the driving force behind a vehicle, and it can symbolize our driving force. This can also sometimes be related to “heart” symbolism.
To dream of a well-working engine is a good sign. This can suggest that you have people to help you if you get into a rough spot. A broken engine suggests the opposite. To dream of an engine is not a prediction that you will get into trouble.
See Car* for further dream symbolism.

This dream is here to prompt you to solve the enigma in your waking life, even if you can’t figure out the meaning of the one in your dream. However, if you can figure out the symbolism behind your dream, it may provide you with clues that can help you solve the enigma in your waking life.

Taking some time away from your hectic world and into the serene forest may be able to apply some of these traits to your life.
To dream of a damaged environment is a bad sign. This could suggest that you are unsure of yourself. You may think of one of your traits as “polluting” some of your other ones. Instead of sitting around, allowing this pollution to occur, try to change this thing about you to make yourself a better version of yourself.

To dream that there is some type of epidemic going on is a bad sign. This dream can suggest that your work, or annoying people in your life, is starting to stress you out beyond a point that you can handle healthily.

Ermine (Fabric)
To wear something made out of this expensive fabric can suggest that you see yourself as high above others. The more expensive or luxurious your clothing is, the bigger your ego is likely to be.

Erotica
Dreaming of erotica can be seen as a representation of your actual sexual desires. The things you see in the erotica could be things you want to do in your actual sex life or just a way of showing you that you need to do more exciting things in your sex life. Either way, this dream suggests that you have unfulfilled sexual desires.
Errands
To dream of going on errands is not an especially important dream sign. This dream simply represents the chores and other day-to-day tasks that you do at home or work.
Eruption
An eruption in your dream can predict the start of a violent healing cycle. You will be able to get over some past transgression after this dream, but it might take a while to make it through it.

If you can make it through the difficulty coming in the future, you are bound to be better off for it.

Evacuation

Eve

Try to get back to your virtues, and generally, be a good person. This is sure to make you feel better in your waking life.
