Islamic Interpretation
(Authority, Mace) A scepter in a dream means good conduct, emulating the leading example of the Prophet Muhammad, upon whom be peace, rising to a high-ranking position, or becoming an authority. A scepter in a dream could also represent a wild son, a crooked man, or a hypocrite. Playing with a scepter in a dream means using the help of such a person and assisting him to lay hands on his rivals. The crosier represents the human heart, and the staff represents man's tongue. Thus, playing with a scepter in a dream means playing at will. Whatever may affect a scepter in a dream can be interpreted as affecting one's son or his tongue. If one sees himself hitting a small ball with a scepter, or playing with a ball in his dream, it represents a dispute with his wife, or a fight with a hypocritical person. A scepter in a dream also indicates the presence of jinn spirits, wars, devastations, or it could represent past benefits. Hitting someone with a scepter in a dream means getting what one desires from him, but through crooked ways. If one sees his governor or his boss carrying a scepter in a dream, it means that he will be appointed to head an important project.
