The spindle that was dreamed of is a symbol of male dignity, which in life is suppressed by the female beginning. So, if a man dreamed of a spindle, it means that in intimate relationships he takes second place and obeys his partner in everything. He lacks initiative both in life and in bed and is unable to maintain a long-term relationship with one partner, because he always turns out to be abandoned.
And if a woman saw a spindle in a dream, it means that in intimate relationships she is bright, inventive, passionate, who allows everything in sex, but does not have a permanent partner, because she is constantly looking for more proactive, efficient and skillful partners.
