Dreaming of an Arm
arm, elbow, forearm, limb · mostly negative, with happy exceptions
Arms are mostly about strength and health: strong ones promise success and wealth, weak or severed ones point to loss and separation.
What happens in the dream
- Hairy arms: your wealth will grow
- Your arms growing strong: unexpected success, even a large family and a prosperous partner
- An amputated arm: separation or a breakup, and a warning to watch out for deceit
- Thin or withered arms: grief, illness and a decline in your fortunes
- Your right arm cut off: the loss of a male relative
- Your left arm cut off: the loss of a close female relative
How you felt
- Helplessness: the dream may reflect a fear of no longer being able to act
- Vigor: perhaps a renewed trust in your own strength
Ask yourself
- Where do I feel my hands are tied?
- What strength can I rely on right now?
