Dreaming of a Sceptre

sceptre, rod, staff, wand · mixed

Holding a sceptre points to positions of trust; seeing it in others' hands, to a preference for following.

What happens in the dream

  • You wield a sceptre: friends will choose you for positions of trust, and you'll live up to them
  • Others wield the sceptre over you: you'll seek work under someone's supervision rather than act for yourself

How you felt

  • Ambition: the dream often reflects a wish for influence
  • Dependence: it may echo hesitation about going it alone

Ask yourself

  • What position of responsibility tempts me?
  • Am I letting others decide too much for me?
