Dagger
A dagger often touches threat and the close, pointed presence of an enemy — but also the power of wresting that blade away. The dream may ask who or what feels menacing to you, where you might disarm the very thing aimed against you, and how news of someone absent might turn a feared edge into hope.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for dagger, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
If seen in a dream, denotes threatening enemies. If you wrench the dagger from the hand of another, it denotes that you will be able to counteract the influence of your enemies and overcome misfortune.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of a dagger, you may expect news of absent persons, and your dearest hope will be fulfilled.
