If you dribble into your hand, it's like water, however, if you spit on your hand, it's more dense, and doesn't "trickle" as easy. Why?

Because dribble is just njatural liquid (water) that your body produces. Spit is back wash (saliva) of foods, things you drink, air you breath, and (if you smoke the) build up tar that is in your lungs. People deliberately spit/ or have to spit. Dribble accidently comes out when talking, thinking, sleeping, etc. Dribbling is hard to keep your self from doing. Another reason people dribble is because their body is telling them they need something to drink. It is replacing the fluids that it needs.

Ok, dribble is when your saliva glands are freely producing saliva because of over stimulation, eg smell, or your mouth is dry from sleeping with your mouth open.
Spit is the saliva that has been in your mouth lubricating it, and is ejected with force. So it has reacted with food debris, enzymes, plaque etc and that is why it is difference.
BTW I dont know this for sure, it is my guess.

Dribble comes out of the mouth because of gravity (I'm guessing), but spit is ejected by force????

Spit has more "air" in it. Dribble has no assistance and isnt "agitated" when leaving your mouth.
