Hammer / Sledgehammer

The Author: Seeing a hammer in a dream is interpreted as esteem. That your own hammer, or another person, is given to you signifies that you will form a friendship with a person of distinction and benefit from that friend.

Seeing in a dream that you have lost your hammer signifies that the person with whom you have formed a friendship will end his friendship with you.

Kirmani: Seeing oneself striking an anvil with a hammer in a dream, despite having no knowledge of blacksmithing, indicates that you will carry tales among respected people and cause these persons to become estranged from one another.

With the right perspective, it can signify restoring balance, recovery, and developing a new understanding.

Uncertainty, indecision, or a tendency to take on excessive burden may be observed.

In the interpretation, the themes of emotional life, work and responsibility, the emotional tone in the dream, and how the symbol concludes in the dream should be evaluated together.
