Body
Wounds or scars
A history that lives in the body
What it often means
Wounds in dreams reflect emotional or psychological injury still being carried. Old scars often point to healing already underway; fresh wounds to recent or surfacing pain.
When it tends to appear
- During inner healing
- When old hurts are being touched again
- When acknowledgment of pain has been delayed

- 1

- 3
What might "healed" actually look like for you?
