Bayonet
The bayonet is the close, fixed blade of confrontation, and in dreams it often marks enemies who hold us in their power unless we take the weapon ourselves. The dream tends to touch a struggle for the upper hand, and to ask whether we are at the mercy of an opposing force or can wrest control of it.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for bayonet, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of a bayonet, signifies that enemies will hold you in their power, unless you get possession of the bayonet.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of a bayonet indicates that you have vindictive enemies.
