Case Study of Dreaming of Bones
[Dream Example 1]
Last night, I dreamed that my grandfather’s grave was opened, and I was picking up bones. I then put them in a barrel and wrapped them twice. I was a little scared, and my mother and I were going to bury them, but we didn’t. I also saw my grandmother, but she had passed away, so I didn’t feel scared at the time. What was going on? What was I going to encounter? However, the dream didn’t frighten me at all; it was quite peaceful. I also dreamed of candlesticks.
Dream Interpretation: Dreaming of seeing dead bones indicates dissatisfaction with the current situation and fears that secrets they don’t want others to know might be accidentally leaked. There’s also a risk of physical decline.
[Dream Example 2]
I dreamed of a long, hard tailbone in my hair. Its characteristics: a diameter like a cigarette, thin at the end, with distinct and dense joints like vertebrae, and two bones hidden within the hair, as natural as hair. In the dream, I discovered it and casually dug one of the bones out. The bone was filled with pus, and something resembling a liver was floating on top. I was terrified and burst into tears in the dream. I took the bone to the hospital, seeking medical help, but no one cared. Looking in the mirror, I discovered a hole on my temple where the bone had been dug out. Blood was flowing down my cheek from the hole. I cried and screamed in the dream, then woke up in shock.
Dream Interpretation: Your vivid memory of the dream suggests it’s not a profound dream, but rather a result of your own will. Therefore, it’s meaningless to interpret, and can only be considered a reflection of your inner world. According to general dream interpretation, seeing blood is a good omen, signifying unexpected wealth.
[Dream Example 3]
Dreaming of Bones: Seeing your own bones emerging from flesh and blood suggests you’ve been deceived by flattery. What does this phrase on Baidu mean? Does it mean I’m a flatterer, or that I’m surrounded by such people? This statement is truly unsettling.
Dream Interpretation: Be careful in the near future. Don’t reveal your money, or be wary of being framed. Also, avoid being too explicit in your actions.
