Example: A woman dreamed of having a sword fight, enjoying it, and telling herself that she should have more sword fights more often. In waking life, she was practicing arguing her points with someone and was considering whether to go to law school. In this case, the sword fight may have reflected her readiness to engage in verbal battles or debates about upholding the law.
Example 2: A woman dreamed of seeing someone holding a sword. In waking life, she was having an extra-marital affair and strongly considered ending the relationship even though her enjoyment of the sex made it incredibly difficult to do so. In this case, the sword may have been a sign that she knew that respecting her marriage and ending the relationship was important to consider.
Example 3: A man dreamed of seeing himself preparing to stab an intruder in the stomach with a sword, but felt it may be too difficult to have the willpower to carry the stabbing out. In waking life, he inherited a lot of money and noticed that a beautiful girl from his past was trying to seduce him for the purpose of stealing his money. He felt that the girl may be too beautiful to rudely reject. In this case, the sword may have reflected his desire to maintain his integrity and boundaries while resisting manipulation.
