Dreaming of Ribs

ribs · mostly negative, with one exception

Ribs point to hardship and, when broken, to family tension.

What happens in the dream

  • Your limbs are longer and stronger than usual: happiness with your partner
  • Your upper ribs are broken: disagreements with your partner
  • You see ribs: poverty and misery
  • Your lower ribs are broken: trouble from your relatives

How you felt

  • Vulnerability: the dream may reflect a sense of being exposed or weakened
  • A need for protection: perhaps concern for those close to you

Ask yourself

  • What is making me fragile right now?
  • Which family relationship needs attention?
