Spur

A spur — sharp goad to drive a mount forward — often touches engaging in unpleasant controversy, with enmity working you trouble if others wear them. The dream may ask where you're being prodded into conflict, and whether the sharp pressure urging you on is driving you toward a dispute that will cost more than the forward motion is worth.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for spur, 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 wearing spurs, denotes that you will engage in some unpleasant controversy.

To see others with them on, foretells that enmity is working you trouble.
