Whip

A whip — for driving by pain and threat — often touches unhappy dissensions and unfortunate, formidable friendships. The dream may ask where coercion and conflict are cracking through your relationships, and whether the lashing pressure you feel, given or received, is the mark of bonds that have soured into something punishing.

Miller 1901

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
