Islamic Interpretation of Dreams (Ibn-i Sirin):
In a dream,a spool means keeping oneâs secrets, or it could represent a gracious man, or a trustworthy person who lends his help to others and benefits them in their worldly affairs.
If one sees himself carrying a spool while taking his ritual ablution in a dream, it means that he will seek the help of a righteous believer who holds fast to the rope of God Almighty.
In that sense, a spool represents the element of religious life and the rope in a dream signifies religion, which is oneâs connection to his Lord. Carrying a spool when performing oneâs ablution in a dream means that one will be permanently cured from ills and become free from debts.
A spool in a dream also means an active servant, or a talkative son.
