Blood

Vitality, lineage, or wounding

What it often means

Blood in dreams is one of the most charged symbols — it can mean vitality, family lineage, or wounding. Context tells you which strand is most alive in your current life.

When it tends to appear

  • During major emotional intensity
  • When family or lineage is being stirred
  • When something has been wounded or quietly lost

Sit with these questions

  1. 1

    Did the blood feel alive, frightening, or sacred?

  2. 2

    What is asking to be honoured at the level of life-and-death?

  3. 3

    What wound, even small, is asking to be tended?
