A sword is a sturdy and potent weapon capable of killing. Often in the tales of yore, a sword is the choice of weapon for a knight to yield. They are symbolizations of courage, power, and ambition. Envisioning yourself with a sword in your dream suggests that you are on an adventure for supremacy. The sword also represents you are a person of dignity and honor. When there is trouble, your honorable and fearless qualities would not allow you to back down from a battle or leave another person behind. A sword in your hand may be reflective of your masculine pride and your aptitude to challenge the unthinkable.
To dream of yourself holding a sword may indicate that your will is unyielding and you will not be easily manipulated into doing something that goes against your beliefs.
