There is perhaps no person who has never had a dream about blood or about bleeding. Blood is the essential liquid that makes us feel alive; it is an elixir, a nectar of life, metaphorically.
The importance of blood as a ritual substance runs through all societies, traditions and popular beliefs. There is no religious or spiritual path that does not include blood as an important symbolic motif.
Blood has been used in numerous practices, from culturally shaped rituals and customs to scientific research and medical purposes. Therefore, dreams about blood are quite common.
Dreams about bleeding, too. These night visions can tell us a lot about our current state of mind, our emotions and our real-life situations.
We often fail to see signs in real life because we are busy with real events.
However, in dreams, we are more focused on what is happening there, exclusively. There are also ways to exercise and memorize your dream experience; there are techniques that could help you train yourself to remember details of your dreams.
When it comes to dreams about bleeding, such details are vitally important in interpreting these dreams.
Dreams about bleeding are various and very different from each other.
You could dream about bleeding from your nose, from an open wound or so, but it is important to remember which part of your body you are bleeding from. You may dream about being cut or being shot, about someone else is bleeding, etc.
Dreams about bleeding
Of course, the first thing you probably want to know is that they are dreams about bleeding positive or negative. That depends on a particular experience and a personal factor.
If you felt fine or at least not too uncomfortable, the dream is likely to be a good one. If you felt bad and woke up with a sweat, it is likely that the dream is negative.
However, there are interpreters who claim that the negative feelings related to bloody dreams are actually talked about and that the meaning is positive.
These interpretations also vary according to the cultural context. In the following paragraphs, we’ll offer some of the more common interpretations and leave the rest to you.
Every dreamer is able to distinguish whether the dream was good or bad, based on personal experience. You have to focus on your dream, the details of it and your deepest emotions related to the dream.
Dreams about bleeding in particular fall into the category of extremely uncomfortable and unpleasant dreams. We always feel a little anxious around blood, because it’s the substance of life, it’s inside our body.
Seeing it anywhere outside of our body makes us feel nervous, uncomfortable, even scared and terrified. We learn that blood must remain inside our veins, so everything else disturbs and scares us.
However, seen in dreams, blood can be an extremely powerful symbolic motif. It does not represent blood per se, but something else that is of crucial importance in our lives.
Blood in dreams, especially bleeding dreams, is always associated with strong emotions, intense thoughts and everything that has to do with our deepest desires, intuition and instincts.
In short, bleeding in dreams is most likely associated with gaining or losing energy in reality.
If you had a dream about bleeding, hemorrhaging, it could be an extremely upsetting experience.
Of course, you can’t dream that you’ve died or that you’re bleeding to death, but the feeling is perhaps close to being seriously scared for your life.
It is a dream in which you know or believe that you are going to die from extreme and rapid blood loss. That must be tremendously scary! This dream is, therefore, a negative dream and is always associated with big losses, which are hardly acceptable.
Dreams about bleeding reflect your worst fears from your waking life, most likely your thoughts about the fragility of your own health, the health of a loved one, your material sources, finances and so on.
You are very afraid of losing something and that is why you dream of losing something that is essential for you to be alive, your own blood.
The dream could just be a channel for you to deal with loss or fear of loss in reality or a warning sign that tells you that you are likely to miss something very important.
Dreams about nosebleed
If you dream of bleeding from your nose, it is a dream implying that you are about to face certain difficulties that affect your material state. It won’t be a major and insoluble problem, but it will definitely cause you a lot of headache and anxiety.
You should be careful with your money and your finances in general. To dream of nosebleed could also mean that you will have an unpleasant argument with a person you know.
There are interpreters who claim that this dream has the opposite meaning and that it is a sign of luck, suggesting that you are about to receive money rather than losing it.
We let you decide the true meaning, based on other details and your inner sense.
If there are other positive symbolic motifs, especially those related to money, in your dream, it is correct to assume that the dream has positive symbolism.
Dreams about bleeding ears
If you dream of bleeding from your ears or from a single ear, it means that you are about to hear the truth that you will not like it at all.
Perhaps you are about to discover certain facts about a person you have trusted and it may happen that the person has lied to you about important matters.
You will be very disappointed and feel uncertain about trusting people in general.
This dream also means that you do not want to find out the truth about certain things, but you cannot avoid it.
Dreams about bleeding from your mouth
If you dream of having blood in your mouth or bleeding from your mouth, it is not a good sign.
Like dreams about bleeding from the ears, this one is related to talking about something.
You may have reached the point where you can no longer hide things and you have to let others know the truth. You’re literally choking on lies you’ve told so far or things you’ve simply kept hidden. You have to vent and release all the pressure you are feeling.
Dreams about your legs bleeding
Dreams about bleeding legs are associated with a dreamer’s attitude towards certain matters. The dream means that you are not feeling particularly confident about your positions; you feel as if you don’t have enough arguments to defend your causes. The dream is common in people who are about to make a change in their attitudes, big changes in their life in general.
It is always a stage in life when a person feels a little insecure, unstable and unsure if their decisions are right.
Dreams about hands that bleed
Dreams about bleeding from your hands are similar to dreams about bloody hands, only in the first case, you are sure that the blood is yours.
The dream is also related to feeling guilty, not guilt about hurting another person, but about self-sabotage. It’s more a mixture of regret and emotional guilt than guilt alone.
However, the dream is a channel to release these negative emotions. You did something that turned out to be wrong. The dream is also a warning sign, especially if you are thinking about doing something at the moment. Before making this move, be sure to carefully view all possible outcomes as closely as possible.
The dream suggests that perhaps you should wait longer, until you see the situation clearly.
Don’t make foolish moves just because you are impatient. Sometimes it’s better to wait than to rush and actually sabotage your own plans by doing this.
Dreams about menstrual bleeding
Dreams about menstrual bleeding are common in women who are experiencing actual menstrual bleeding at the time. However, if a woman is not at that point in her biological menstrual cycle, dreams about menstrual bleeding can be closely related to her thinking about pregnancy.
This dream is common in women who are planning to get pregnant and the dream represents your fear of not getting pregnant.
If that is not the case, the dream reflects concerns about a woman’s physical health, sexuality or femininity.
