Dreaming of Legs

legs, leg, limbs, thighs · mixed, depending on the legs

Legs are about your ability to move forward: sound legs promise a happy future, injured or useless ones bring losses and worries.

What happens in the dream

  • Your own legs, clean and well shaped: a happy future and devoted friends
  • Thin legs: a winning race with fortune; thick, swollen legs: illness
  • Misshapen legs: thankless work and bad-tempered companions
  • Three or more legs: you are dreaming up more ventures than will ever pay off
  • Admiring shapely legs: you will lose your head over someone
  • A wounded, ulcerated or itchy leg: losses, fruitless worry and money drained to help others
  • A wooden leg: you will be false with friends, or your situation will go from bad to worse
  • You cannot use your legs, or one is amputated: poverty, the loss of valued friends and a heavy home life

How you felt

  • Confidence: the dream may reflect a sense of being well grounded
  • Helplessness: it may express a fear of being unable to move on

Ask yourself

  • What is stopping me from moving forward right now?
  • What am I leaning on?
