Spool dream meaning is explained below using 4 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — Ibn Seerin

In a dream,a spool means keeping one’s secrets, or it could represent a gracious man, or a trustworthy person who lends his help to others and benefits them in their worldly affairs.

If one sees himself carrying a spool while taking his ritual ablution in a dream, it means that he will seek the help of a righteous believer who holds fast to the rope of God Almighty. In that sense, a spool represents the element of religious life and the rope in a dream signifies religion, which is one’s connection to his Lord. Carrying a spool when performing one’s ablution in a dream means that one will be permanently cured from ills and become free from debts.

A spool in a dream also means an active servant, or a talkative son.

In the case that a spool of thread appears in a dream, this may indicate that your ideas are a bit tangled. You should let them flow without trying to limit them or solve them. The dream reflects a lack of clarity regarding a project we are about to undertake. (See THREAD and WOOL)

A silk spool is a sign of inner enrichment for the dreamer; cotton denotes poverty and complicated matters.
