Sceptre
A sceptre — the emblem of granted authority — often touches being chosen by friends for positions of trust you won't disappoint, or serving under others if they wield it. The dream may ask where rightful authority is being placed in your hands, and whether you'll rise to the trust shown in you or settle for working beneath another.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for sceptre, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To imagine in your dreams that you wield a sceptre, foretells that you will be chosen by friends to positions of trust, and you will not disappoint their estimate of your ability.
To dream that others wield the sceptre over you, denotes that you will seek employment under the supervision of others, rather than exert your energies to act for yourself.
