1- The spear litis many meanings. It represents the masculine in dreams and is phallic.

It is the life-giving force.

To sec a warrior with a spear is to recognise the aggressive male.

To put a spear in the ground is to mark one’s territory.

If we are throwing a spear we perhaps need to be aware of our more primitive aspects.

Interpretation 2 — Klaus Vollmar

According to Freud, phallic symbol. Aggression, being focused, and having success. Elias Howe in the middle of the last century had a very important dream about spears. He was captured by natives who pressured him to invent a sewing machine.

The tip of the spears they brandished in front of his face had holes. This dream gave him the idea for the double-stitch sewing machine.

Symbolically speaking, this dream refers to the feminine and masculine side of the dreamer, presented here by the image of the needle or the specialized spear.

Interpretation 3 — Ibn Seerin

if other weapons are seen together with a spear it symbolises power and superiority and that his instructions will be carried out.

If no other weapons are seen with a spear then provided the spear has a point, a son or brother will be born in his home. And if it has no point then provided he is familiar with such a spear, only daughters will be born in his home. Seeing any excellence or defect in such a spear represents a similar excellence or defect in him.
