In a dream it is a rod [ʿud] from "returning" [ʿawd], a cane [qana] from "acquisition" [qinya], and a Khatti spear [khatti] from "error" [khata'] [plays on the Arabic names]. The spear is a woman, or a son, or true testimony, or a journey. Whoever sees a spear in his hand will have a baby boy born to him; if it has a spearhead, his son will become a guardian over people and will protect them with his own self. The breaking of the spear concerns the son, and any break that cannot be mended has no good in it.
(Whoever sees) a spear in his hand while he is riding is a ruler in high rank and glory. If the spear is attributed to the ruler and it breaks, something will happen to his rule, with grief and dismissal, or an enemy will make inroads against him. If it is attributed to a brother, it is a calamity concerning him — this when it breaks and he throws it away and it cannot be repaired. If it can be repaired, it is an illness from which he recovers, or he comes close to dismissal and then things are set right. Losing the spearhead is the death of his brother or his son, and the javelin [mizraq] is likewise. The spear is a brother or a companion who defends his companion, or an office of authority.
(Whoever sees) a spear in his hand and walks with it in the marketplace will be blessed with a male child. If he puts it behind his door or covers it with his hand, his wife will give birth to a girl. A spear without iron is a daughter for a pregnant woman, and that daughter will be blessed with daughters as many as the joints of the spear, if the dreamer counts them.
(Whoever sees) a ruler handing him a spear, he will appoint him to an office; and if the spear carries a banner, the office will be one of renown.
(Whoever sees) a person stabbing him with a spear, that person will hurt him with his tongue and attack his honor. Whoever owns a spear but has no one carrying it, he will befriend a person who [defends] him, or a brother who shields him from his enemies. If a king sees that his spear has grown long beyond measure, he will oppress his subjects.
(Whoever sees) that he was stabbed with a spear and blood flowed from it will be rewarded [by God] for what befell him from the one who struck him. It is also said that his body will be healthy and his wealth will increase, and if he is away from home he will return to his family safely.
(Whoever sees) that he was wounded with a spear: if his wound is one that carries a legal compensation [arsh], he will pay a fine equal to that compensation; if it carries no compensation, he will be accused of some ugly deed.
(Whoever sees) that he was wounded with a spear and the wounds were severe, the wounded one will obtain unlawful money from the one who wounded him. If the spear cut off flesh, a limb or limbs, and that ended up in the hand of the one who did it, he will obtain from the one acted upon — the wounded one — money and good things that are disliked in religion.
(Whoever sees) that he fought enemies with his spear will obtain unlawful money. Further discussion comes under "Javelin" [Mizraq].
