If you dream of defending yourself with a javelin, your private life may come under unexpected scrutiny — someone could challenge your integrity, and you may need to expend real energy proving yourself before the matter is resolved in your favor. If you are struck by a javelin in the dream, it signals that adversaries in your waking life may find an opening to cause you genuine harm. Seeing others carrying javelins nearby suggests that forces are gathering around you with an eye toward your interests or vulnerabilities.
