[Dream Example 1]
I dreamed of using a knife to cut my left wrist, but the knife was blunt and didn’t break it after a while. Later, I thought my husband cut it for me. It was a small cut, not big, but blood dripped out in large drops, quickly staining my hand red. The ground was also blood-red. Later, I drifted off, as if I had turned over in my sleep, and continued to sleep with my left wrist facing upwards. What does this dream portend?
Dream Interpretation: Severed Limb: Dreaming of someone cutting off your limbs indicates misfortune to a friend or assistant. Knife: Disaster is approaching. Blood: Dreaming of blood indicates that one’s inheritance will have an heir. Dreaming of blood causing loss indicates disappointment. Dreaming of blood on a bed or clothes indicates that others will be conquered by you and seek your mercy. Dreaming of a river of blood indicates great wealth.
[Dream Example 2]
I dreamed of my left thigh being completely severed, but there was no pain or bleeding. I went to the hospital to reattach a severed limb, but it didn’t seem to work. My wound was bandaged, and I walked with crutches.
Dream interpretation: This is your brain sending a warning: Your leg isn’t feeling comfortable, or perhaps you’ve been pressing on it while sleeping! Or perhaps something’s been bothering you lately. Don’t get angry, adjust your mindset, and there’s always a way out!
