Splinter
A splinter lodged in the flesh often touches vexations from family or jealous rivals, with an unpleasant visit if you step on one. The dream may ask where a small, sharp irritation has worked under your skin, and whether the nagging discomfort, lodged by someone close or envious, is festering through neglect into something worse.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for splinter, 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 splinters sticking into your flesh, denotes that you will have many vexations from members of your family or from jealous rivals.
If while you are visiting you stick a splinter in your foot, you will soon make, or receive, a visit which will prove extremely unpleasant. Your affairs will go slightly wrong through your continued neglect.
