Purple Sword in dreams

A decision-making weapon — discrimination, the cut between this and that.

How purple changes the reading

Purple colour places the symbol between hot and cool — a reading that has both calm and intensity at once. The dream often uses purple for symbols that do not fit the usual categories cleanly. Take the reading more seriously than you would otherwise; the colour is asking you to.

The base reading of Sword

A sword in a dream is the dictionary's image of discrimination — the act of cutting between this and that, of making a clean call where there used to be ambiguity. The dream often appears around decisions where you have actually already decided and the dream is putting the moment of cutting into visible form.

Where you often see it. A sword on a wall. A sword drawn in a defensive scene. The dream uses the sword for a decision-making weapon — discrimination, the cut between this and that.

What it is not. A sword is not always combat. The dictionary reads it as the dreamer's clarity-tool.

Related in the dictionary. Read sword with knife (its smaller cousin), shield, and any scene where the dreamer is being asked to discriminate.
