Sword Dream Meaning

Dreaming of a sword usually stands for the courage to make hard decisions and a readiness to defend yourself. A sword can be used to attack or to protect, so the meaning changes completely with the sword's condition and with whom it is pointed at.

• Standing with a sharp, gleaming sword in your hand

  Holding a sword with confidence means you trust your ability to make your own decisions.

• A rusty or broken sword

  Your inner strength, or the edge of your reasoning, has grown weak from going unused for a long time.

• Pointing a sword at someone

  The tension of a real conflict or rivalry in your life is reflected in this dream.

• A sword pointed at you

  You feel the pressure of a harsh decision about yourself.

• Watching two swords clash

  It shows an effort to choose the fair path through some tug-of-war in your life.

A sword is really a symbol of clarity more than force, the sharp sense of right and wrong that shows you the way in hard moments.
