The Dream Books Symbols

by Betty Bethards
Someone is sticking it to you; you are receiving the brunt of pointed remarks, harmful thoughts and attitudes; allowing yourself to be used. Or, you are wishing someone else ill through sharp words, negative thinking, and will only harm yourself. Need for repair.

See Sew.

My Dream Interpretation

To see or use a pin cushion in your dream signifies hurtful comments. You are feeling used and manipulated. Alternatively, you may be trying to harm others with your sharp words and negative attitude.

It is a favourable sign if there are plenty of Pins stuck in the Cushion.

If not, then expect disappointment.
