Open wounds

Envisioning an open wound in the dream realm can reflect your perception of your ability to care for yourself emotionally. The open wound represents feelings of harm or hurts that you have recently experienced, and your capacity to care for yourself during this time. These signs indicate that you need to pay more attention to your emotions and feelings, as they may be affecting you more than you realize. Alternatively, you might have a fear of being vulnerable or exposed and anxiety about being hurt by others. It may be a warning to protect yourself and your emotions from those who may cause you unnecessary suffering.

Wound on foot

Dreaming of a wounded foot, whether it is yours or someone else's, is an ill omen in dream analysis. Fortunately, the severity of the foot's wound or injury will determine how much difficulty you will face in the near future. The foot represents your attitude and confidence in dealing with life's obstacles, so any damage to the foot does not bode well for your hopes and dreams. Specifically, you may be facing turbulent emotions due to unstable relationships or a personal loss may incapacitate you and push aside your goals while you regain your bearings.

Bleeding wound

A bleeding or seeping wound is often associated with the darker aspects of your persona. Psychotherapeutic interpretations of this symbol suggest that this literal bleeding in the dream is allegorical, correlating to these dark, negative emotions showing up in your everyday conversations and interactions. For instance, maybe you are irritated at something work-related but act snappy or rudely toward waitstaff or your own family. You may not like this part of your personality, which is why you try to hide it as best you can. The best you can do, however, is to take a deep breath when you feel stressed and avoid situations where you may act out unwittingly.

Wound on left foot

While this may be a sad feeling, it could also be an opportunity for growth and healing. This dream may be fortunate in that it is drawing attention to an area of your life that needs improvement or extra care. The wound on your left foot may also indicate that you are feeling stuck or unable to move forward in some aspect of your life. It is a sign that you need to open up and address your shortcomings to move past the situation.

Wound on right leg

Open wound on leg

Being injured or having an open wound on your leg in a dream is a symbol of an emotional impairment or vulnerability that you are experiencing in your waking life. You may feel like you are unable to fully use your abilities or move forward in a certain area. It could be something that you are carrying with you that is slowing you down or holding you back, like emotional baggage or past trauma.

Bees and wasps inside a wound

29 Female. In my dream, I received a wound that I knew was coming, in the form of a gunshot in my stomach, and though it was predicted that it would kill me, I spent most of the dream slumped over to stanch the bleeding while waiting for help, determined to live. Help came, and they discovered the wound was infested with bees and wasps. They prepared me for a procedure, in which they hand scooped out a large clot of blood that included all the bees and wasps. I felt relieved to be through the worst.

A gunshot wound to the stomach is often considered a negative image in the dream world, as it pertains to emotional trauma and pain in reality. Because you knew the wound was coming, you probably sense that an upcoming event or confrontation would cause you internal turmoil and disappointment. For example, if you are going to meet with your boss or parents soon, they may say something about your work and life choices that leaves you disappointed and shamed. Bees and wasps inside the wound refer to the gossip that would surround you during this time and the physical toll this would take on your body. Even though this would not be a physical fight, your body would likely feel sluggish, achy and sore due to the stress you feel. However, having the blood clot, bees and wasps removed predicts being able to overcome this situation and be successful in spite of the challenges you face. This would bring you great happiness and peace of mind in the end, much like your feelings at the end of the vision.

A wound filled with food remains

I am a man of 31 years from Tanzania, I dreamed having a wound in my right hand, like a blister, and when I pressed the wound a lot of food remains eaten in the past come out and after that the hand returned into normal size and got healed.

The wound in your right hand represents a problem that is obstructing your plans. You are unable to pursue your goals with full focus and determination because of this barrier. Since the wound closed up and healed when the food came out, then your past food intake is the source of your stagnation. All those food remains represent excess and hedonism. Your wasteful and careless ways have derailed you from your path, so now you have to cleanse yourself of bad habits so you can chase your dreams with a sound body and a clear mind.

Head wound

Dreaming of a head wound represents being afraid of getting hurt or feeling vulnerable. It indicates a creative block or a problem in taking on responsibilities. Furthermore, the dream may be a warning that something unpleasant may happen soon or that someone may hit you with unexpected news. Although in some cases, it shows a emotional hurt or suffering that needs healing. Overall, the dream is suggesting that you need to be more aware of your actions or ideas and the consequences they may have in the long run.

A wound with blood gushing out

I am in the hospital assisting my partner. All of a sudden my right foot and ankle open up in a wound gushing blood. Very painful. I go to get assistance and both my hands do the same. I have my son with me and all I can think is who will take care of him. They tell me it is some kind of rare fungal infection connected to issues with your cervix. Then I wake up.

Being in a hospital in a dream vision is usually a fairly ominous symbol associated with unexpected and unwelcome news, most likely about health and wellness. This is coupled with the image of your hands and feet opening up and gushing blood, another powerful portent associated with a debilitating cycle of illness and exhaustion. It may be wise to seek early screening for health issues which run in your family or with which you have recently been concerned, as early diagnosis and treatment may stave off the worst of these possible afflictions.
