Pitchfork

A pitchfork — the laborer's heavy implement — often touches struggles for betterment and great physical or mental toil, with enemies if you're attacked by one. The dream may ask where hard, grinding work is what your advancement asks of you, and whether someone unscrupulous might turn the tools of honest labour into weapons against you.
