(Hatchet) An axe in a dream means receiving help, an increase in one's earnings, recovering from a migraine headache, recovering from an illness, or it could mean begetting a son. Holding an axe in one's hand in a dream means becoming a guardian, an executor of a will, a trustee, becoming steadfast in one's religion, or it could mean overcoming one's enemy. It is said that an axe in a dream means harm, disruption, and scattering of one's livelihood. An axe in a dream also represents a servant, a housekeeper, strength, victory, or perhaps an insolent person, or it could denote one's job. (Also see Adze)
