Defending
To see oneself defending in a dream is like an attack. However, in the interpretation of defending, persons and circumstances are the opposite of those in the interpretation of an attack. That is to say, the one who is victorious in an attack is defeated here. The one who is defeated here is the one who prevails in an attack.
To see that one has a weapon and an instrument in one’s hand to defend oneself, and that the defensive instrument in the hand of one’s enemy is weaker, is good and auspicious.
Positive Meaning

Shadow Meaning
Uncertainty, indecision, or a tendency to take on excessive burden may be observed.
Advice
In the interpretation, the themes of success and reputation, work and responsibility, health and body, spiritual signs, the emotional tone in the dream, and how the symbol concludes in the dream should be evaluated together.
