Owen SterlingPorcupine quills appear in a dream as the residue of a defensive mechanism that has already been deployed. The brain uses these images to process the way a person has recently used sharp language or emotional distance to protect themselves from perceived threats. This sorting process identifies the lingering sting of words that were meant to keep others at bay.
The presence of these quills indicates that the period of active defense is passing, leaving behind only the traces of the conflict. The sharpness of these recent interactions is losing its function as the mind moves away from the need for such barriers.
When the dreamer is removing porcupine quills in a dream, the process of neutralizing old grievances is underway. This action suggests that the person is actively working to diminish the impact of previous hostilities, which lessens the overall weight of the defensive stance.

Owen SterlingInterpreter interprets your dreams
Many people believe a frightening dream announces something, when more often the brain was simply sorting the days just before it. During the night the mind files what was carried over from recent hours, and what gets filed loudest is what was felt most. A rough night leaves a residue by morning that fades with daylight. Nothing was sent. The sleeper was working, and the work is done.
