A skewer pierces and holds things in a row, so it is read as being pinned down or as many matters strung together. Dream books also link it to sharp criticism felt keenly.
Where in your waking life have you met something like this lately?
My Cosmic Code has a private dream journal. Write a dream down and the app picks out the symbols in it, shows what dream books say about them and, over time, which words recur across your entries. The journal is stored on your device only.
