For men, dreaming of being castrated can indicate a deep fear of losing power, sexual potency, or vitality.

[Dream Example 1]

[Dream Example 2]
Last night, I dreamt of being castrated. Is this a good or bad thing?
Dream Interpretation: This dream is a warning against playing games with relationships.
[Dream Example 3]
I dreamed of being castrated by my father. Inside my mouth, there seemed to be some insect eggs and a thick orange-yellow liquid. I cut it out and examined it for a long time. Some time later, the teeth in my mouth were wobbling. When I licked them with my tongue, they seemed to fall out. I rubbed them with my hands and they came out easily. After removing them, I laid them out on the table and counted them. There were groups of five, some large and some small. I counted two groups, and there were still four teeth left, for a total of 14. I looked in the mirror and saw that I still had some teeth at the back. Strangely, the large teeth had grown in the lower front teeth’ place. Finally, it felt like there was a wound on my thigh that was constantly bleeding. Seeing it couldn’t be stopped, I used a plastic bag, like the ones you use for soy milk, but two sizes smaller, to seal the wound. I left it alone. After a while, I looked inside and saw that the bag was already filled with my blood. I scratched it with my fingernail, and the blood slowly flowed out.
I’ve never had such a terrifying dream since I was a child. It’s horrifying. I hope someone can help me figure out what’s going on. I’m a 20-year-old male. Thank you!
Dream interpretation: Castration itself has a deeper symbolic meaning, namely, the loss of masculinity. Your father’s desire to castrate you is related to your underlying hostility towards him.
