Javelin

A javelin — wielded in defence or piercing you — often touches the contest over your good name: private affairs searched for dishonesty, innocence proved only after wrangling. The dream may ask where you're defending against accusation, what claims are hurled at your character, and whether you can fend off the threats to your standing.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for javelin, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901

Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted

To dream of defending yourself with a javelin, your most private affairs will be searched into to establish claims of dishonesty, and you will prove your innocence after much wrangling.

If you are pierced by a javelin, enemies will succeed in giving you trouble.

To see others carrying javelins, your interests are threatened.
