Gavel
A gavel often touches authority and the burden of a thankless office — an unprofitable yet not unpleasant duty, or officiousness toward friends. The dream may ask where you've taken up a role that asks more than it gives, whether you're wielding small authority more bossily than you mean to, and what duty you've shouldered without reward.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for gavel, 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 gavel, denotes you will be burdened with some unprofitable yet not unpleasant pursuit. To use one, denotes that officiousness will be shown by you toward your friends.
