Pin
To dream that you are pricked by a pin, signifies a sticky situation or irritating relationship.
It may refer to a situation that is falling apart or that is unstable.
You may be feeling anxious or feeling the need to hold together a particular relationship.
Consider the pun of someone who may be a "prick".
Alternatively, to see pins in your dream may denote a feeling of being trapped or immobilized, as exemplified by the phrase "being pinned down".
