Dreaming of a Gavel

gavel · mixed, fairly mild

A gavel speaks of pastimes that don't pay and a tendency to take charge too much.

What happens in the dream

  • A gavel: you'll be taken up with a pursuit that is unprofitable but not unpleasant
  • Using a gavel: you may become bossy with your friends

How you felt

  • A need for control: the dream may reflect a wish to bring order around you
  • Weariness: you may feel a task is taking more than it gives

Ask yourself

  • Am I imposing my decisions on the people close to me?
  • What takes up my time without really paying off?
