Dreaming of a Wound
wound, gash · mixed
Being wounded mostly signals distress and loss, though one tradition reads it as an excellent omen.
What happens in the dream
- Dressing a wound: you'll have reason to congratulate yourself on your luck
- By the favorable reading: in love, a faithful partner; in trade, farming or at sea, profit and plenty
- You are wounded: distress and a downturn in business; by another reading, a very good omen, especially by a sword
- Seeing others wounded: friends will treat you unfairly
- Wounded by an enemy: loss and poverty; by accident: losses that won't touch your overall fortune
How you felt
- Pain: the dream may reflect a recent emotional hurt
- A need for care: you may be trying to heal something
Ask yourself
- What has hurt me lately?
- How can I tend to that wound?
