Case Study of Dreaming of Nails
[Dream Example 1]
I’m a senior high school student about to take the college entrance exam. I saw online that long nails can be cut to make a wish, so I grew them out. My right pinky finger has been growing for a long time, so it’s particularly long. I told everyone that if it breaks, I’ll repeat the year. However, the day before yesterday, I dreamt it was broken, and yesterday, I dreamt that the nails on both my left and right pinkies were broken. Is this a bad omen?
Dream Interpretation: Dreaming of broken nails indicates that you will encounter unpleasant things.

I had just cut my nails, and they weren’t long, but in my dream, they were incredibly long. I was mumbling about how long they’d grown so quickly and whether I needed to cut them. What does this dream mean?

Could someone please help me interpret it?
