Dreaming of Entrails

entrails, bowels · very negative, with a few exceptions

A dream of entrails is mostly dark and full of despair, except when they belong to a wild beast or the dream concerns love.

What happens in the dream

  • Your own entrails: profound despair may overwhelm you
  • A wild beast's entrails: the downfall of a dangerous enemy, the happy omen
  • You tear out someone's entrails: you'll be tempted to hurt others to serve your own interests
  • If you're in love: happiness in love; if you're wealthy, a loss of money, and if you're poor, a good sign
  • Human entrails: deep misery that seems to shut out all hope
  • Your child's entrails: a grave fear for their life or your own

How you felt

  • Anguish: the dream often reflects a gut-level fear, quite literally
  • Feeling raw: something may be affecting you very deeply

Ask yourself

  • What is knotting up my stomach right now?
  • Do I need to protect myself more?
