Islamic Interpretation
In a dream, a spool signifies safeguarding one’s secrets, or it may symbolize a kind-hearted and reliable person who assists others and brings benefit to their worldly matters. Seeing oneself carrying a spool while performing ritual ablution means seeking the support of a righteous believer who firmly holds to the rope of God Almighty. In this sense, the spool reflects religious commitment, while the rope represents faith and one’s bond with the Lord. Carrying a spool during ablution also indicates lasting recovery from illness and release from debts. A spool may likewise represent a diligent servant or a talkative son.
