Chainsaw

Envisioning yourself using a chainsaw to cut something in a dream realm is an indication that you are trying to sever ties with someone in wake life. This also happens to be one of those mysteries where a situation occurs and you have no clue whether it was something done by you or you were enabled by the hidden forces of nature. However, no matter how drastic it feels on the surface, in due time you will feel fortunate to have attained a success by simply letting someone out of your life.

Falling on a chainsaw

I had a dream there was a chainsaw I was about to fall into, but felt like I couldn't move and then I woke up.

When your body is restricted and unable to move in the dream world, it often refers to opposing values or ways of thinking that are inhibiting your progress in reality. Because some of your actions contradict your beliefs, you may be lacking mental clarity or understanding necessary to succeed in your work or while pursuing personal goals. This is connected with the idea of falling onto a chainsaw, which may be a metaphor related to the idea of shooting yourself in the foot. When others see that you do not act the way you say other people should act, it makes you appear to be a hypocrite. In a sense, you are sabotaging your progress and relationships due to this situation. Until you can align your thoughts and behavior, you would continue to experience hardship and misunderstandings.
