As most of the most authoritative experts testify, the blood seen in a dream is a harbinger of the fact that problems may arise in a person’s life related to family members, tribal ties, as well as certain deeds begun but not completed by his ancestors. However, in each specific case, the interpretation of blood in dream books will depend on many different circumstances. We will try to understand them.
Advice from the Mayan sages
We will begin our review of interpretations with a dream book, which is based on excerpts from the texts of the people who lived on the American continent 2 thousand years before the birth of Christ and created one of the first civilizations on earth. Don't be surprised if some of their statements sound strange today.
About the "bloody" dreams, the ancient sages left two pieces of news to their descendants - good and bad. According to the first of them, a person who sees himself bleeding in a dream will be able to provide significant assistance to one of his relatives in the near future. However, in order for everything to go well, every night, before going to bed, hemust (attention!) water his head with coffee. This is exactly what the compilers of the Mayan Dream Interpretation teach us. Tasting this divine drink in the morning is very pleasant, but pouring it on your head before going to bed is something new, or rather, a well-forgotten old one, since this was done 4 thousand years ago.
However, in this amazing dream book, blood also has a negative interpretation, which is bad news for everyone who makes their life dependent on night visions. The ancient inhabitants of America believed that if a person saw himself in a dream drinking someone's blood (obviously, in that era it was quite common), then in real life someone would certainly try to harm him. But it is not all that bad. The Mayan Dream Interpretation offers the right remedy to protect yourself. It is enough to add a few drops of blood to a cup of the same coffee and drink it immediately after waking up, as all the attackers will immediately scatter. It is not indicated only whose blood is needed for this - one's own or one of the alleged enemies.
Ancient Chinese writing monument
The authorship of the "Dream Book of Zhou-Kun" is attributed to the ancient Chinese politician of the XI century BC who bore this name. He went down in history as a notorious villain who did not spare even his own brothers to realize his ambitions. Therefore, the blood, which he easily shed in reality, in night visions was interpreted by him extremely tendentiously.
It is curious that almost any bloody plot was for him a harbinger of something joyful and deeply positive. For example, the blood that the dreamer released from the enemy promised happiness, and if itpoured abundantly from a fresh knife wound, it also promised free drinks and snacks. The harbinger of a joyful and long life, the dearest Zhou-Kun considered a dream in which blood covered the charred body of the enemy.
In his opinion, if, killing someone in a dream, a person stains his clothes with blood, then this is to him for profit and soon we alth. A blow with a sword, from which scarlet splashes scatter in all directions, is a harbinger of an imminent feast, and crimson hands are a sign of great luck. The blood in the "Dream Book of Zhou-Kun" can confuse the dreamer only if he sees her spots on his own bed. They testify that the wife or one of his concubines secretly indulges in debauchery.
Old Persian dream book Taflisi
Partly consonant with the creation of the bloodthirsty Zhou-Kun, the interpretation of blood in the dream book, compiled on the basis of the records of the eastern astrologer Taflisi, who lived at the turn of the XII-XIII centuries. and considered the foremost mystic of his time. In that distant time, his works were so highly valued that only royal people were allowed to look into them. Other curious people could easily pay with their heads.
Since over the past centuries morals have softened significantly, and what is written by the wisest Taflisi can be read without any risk, we will take this opportunity to find out what the blood seen in a dream promises us. The dream book in question largely retains the imprint of the cruel mores of the Middle Ages, but at the same time covers the problem in a more versatile way than the creation of Zhou-Kun, which was discussedabove.
Thus, the venerable Taflisi wrote that everyone who sees himself fallen into a pool of blood will certainly achieve we alth and the opportunity to spend his life in the most unrestrained pleasures. But at the same time, her spots, who knows how appeared on clothes, are a warning that in reality the dreamer may be suspected of something very unseemly and, moreover, absolutely unrelated to him.
Very curious and another warning about what blood in a dream could mean. Taflisi's dream book says that if in a night vision the dreamer drinks it, then in reality he will most likely get involved in some kind of scam with other people's property, which, apart from dishonor, will bring him nothing. The sage advises this "gourmet" to refrain from any dubious transactions for a while and wait for a more opportune moment.
And finally, according to the same dream book, the blood flowing from the nose is a harbinger of the fact that in reality the dreamer will be exposed in the circulation of certain prohibited goods and will suffer severe punishment for this. The author does not indicate specifically what exactly could serve as a temptation for him, but it is obvious that in those days, as now, the hope of "making money easy" led many into sin.
Bloody dreams according to Nostradamus
Now let's mentally move from the Ancient East to medieval Europe, where the famous astrologer, mystic and predictor of the future Michel de Nostradamus lived in the 16th century, who also gave his descendants one of the most popular dream books today. Blood in the interpretation of the dreams of this amazing person has several meanings, determineda number of plot features of what he saw.
For example, if you happen to observe in a dream her spots that appeared on clothes, then in real life they may be harbingers of an early meeting with a close relative who was away for a long time and, finally, made happy with his arrival.
Blood bleeding profusely in a dream can in reality promise a certain streak of life, marked by sadness and loneliness.
It is characteristic that Nostradamus, unlike other interpreters of past centuries, does not endow dreams in which someone else's blood (maybe even enemies) is shed with any positive meaning. In his view, she exposes the dreamer in the frivolity shown in reality when solving some important issues. In addition, he is reproached for trying to shift the responsibility for previously failed enterprises onto someone else's shoulders.
Further, the dream book says that if one of the close people bleeds in night dreams, then in reality the dreamer's relationship with his relatives will probably deteriorate, and all because of his own selfishness.
Finally, from predictions concerning individuals, the author moves on to predicting global political catastrophes. He writes that a dream in which the earth was covered with blood is a harbinger of wars and social upheavals associated with numerous human casu alties.
Freud's dream book
No less detailed is said about what awaits a person who dreamed of blood in the dream book of the famous Austrianpsychoanalyst Sigmund Freud. Back at the beginning of the 20th century, this scientist convincingly proved that the reason for our night visions is hidden in secret desires, the main of which is the desire for sexual satisfaction. In real life, its external manifestations are suppressed by the conditions of social life, but in a dream this strongest of instincts emerges from the depths of consciousness.
Thus, considering the intimate life of a person as the basis of all his mental processes, Freud wrote that the blood seen in a dream is directly related to this sphere hidden from prying eyes. In particular, her spots covering clothes portend an imminent quarrel, and possibly a complete break with a sexual partner. The cause of a damaged relationship may be a carelessly thrown word or even a misunderstood hint. Therefore, in the case of such a dream, it is necessary to be especially attentive and prudent in relation to the object of your passion.
Continuing the excursion into the world of dreams, the Austrian psychoanalyst wrote that a very negative interpretation is given to blood, which had an unusually rich scarlet color in a dream. Seeing something like this, it is recommended to pay close attention to your wife (or husband), since a dream can be a harbinger of impending adultery. This fully applies to couples in love who are not officially married.
Separately, the author addresses unmarried women and young girls seeking to start a family. He warns them that if, shortly after meeting a man they like, they see blood ontheir body, then their choice was probably not entirely successful. Apparently, his plans do not include marriage, and in general, he prefers a short but vivid romance to long-term relationships. Of course, if such a prospect suits a woman, then the dream can be perceived by her as quite positive.
What did the overseas psychologist warn us about?
In Miller's dream book, blood is presented as a plot element that makes the reader alert, but at the same time does not portend him any inevitable disasters. The author gives not only explanations of its secret meaning, but also brief recommendations on how to avoid negative consequences in the future.
For example, he writes that if you see your clothes smeared with blood in a dream, you should be wary of enemies secretly preparing a trap, and their number will exactly match the number of bloodstains, and this is information that helps to take security measures. Moreover, if the enemies intended to strike unexpectedly, then they clearly miscalculated, since the victim turned out to be aware of their plans.
Among other interpretations regarding dreamed blood, Miller's dream book indicates that a person who sees himself wounded can expect major family troubles in the near future. This warning is followed by advice on how to avoid them. It turns out that everything is very simple: it is enough to tightly bandage your wounds in the same dream, and if the blood stops, then no complications will follow in family life. Worse whenthe bleeding hasn't stopped. This may speak, firstly, of the inevitability of impending troubles, and secondly, of possible he alth problems. You should immediately undergo a preventive examination by a doctor.
Moreover, the scientist wrote that blood in a dream can be associated with conflict situations that arise in society between people who are not related. If hostility develops into an extreme degree of confrontation, then in this case one should beware not only of threats, but also of real aggression.
How is menstruation blood interpreted in dream books?
For obvious reasons, such dreams are most often visited by the beautiful half of humanity. They also have their own interpretations, corresponding to the hidden meaning embedded in them. However, it should be borne in mind that in most cases, such images appear in a dream to those women who will soon have critical days in reality, which means that what they see is only a reflection of their real psychological state.
Nevertheless, in the dream books, the blood of menstruation is also presented as a carrier of certain information. For example, for a girl, she can be a harbinger of some important events - an acquaintance that determines her future life, a device for a new job or admission to a university. At the same time, if she sees that menstrual blood has come through her friend's clothes, then perhaps she needs help. Note that a scene with someone else's blood can also be dreamed of by a man, and its meaning remains the same.
A dream in which a woman sees other people's periods can also be brightpronounced negative value. Some interpreters associate it with the appearance of a secret rival or the spread of defamatory gossip against a woman. But at the same time, for a pregnant woman to see her own menstrual flow is a good sign that promises a successful birth and the birth of a he althy baby.
Dental problems in dream plots
Since ancient times, strong and good teeth have been considered a sign of overall he alth and vitality. Therefore, night visions, which reflect problems that are somehow connected with them, are alarming and make you look for a proper explanation in dream books. Teeth fall out with blood, as a rule, in case of various gum diseases, therefore, the interpretation of such a dream plot is rarely positive, although in this case the details of what is seen are of great importance.
According to popular belief, if a deep wound remains at the site of a fallen tooth, then such a dream portends the death of a close friend, and if there was also heavy bleeding, then one of the relatives may be dead. However, not everything is so bad. A great expert on dreams, Gustav Miller, whose views have already been mentioned above, wrote that when interpreting such plots, it is important to take into account the feelings that they aroused in the dreamer.
For example, if in the morning there is a feeling of lightness and a surge of energy, then there is reason to hope that what you see in a dream portends a breakup with one of the people who cause unpleasant feelings - an annoying admirer,a rude boss or a rude neighbor. Another thing is when a dream becomes the cause of a dreary and anxious mood that occurs after waking up. In this case, we can really talk about some kind of bereavement.
The famous interpreter Martyn Zadek, who once compiled one of the most popular dream books, approaches this issue in a very original way. Did your tooth fall out with blood? This, in his opinion, is an omen of bad news. Two fallen teeth - to various troubles and upheavals, but three - to unprecedented luck and entry into a happy streak of life. What the author was guided by when making such a conclusion is unknown, but given his indisputable authority, we will take all of the above on faith. Let us now dwell on some more issues that often arouse the interest of readers.
In a dream, my nose bled - what would it be for?
The blood flowing from the nose in dream books is interpreted in different ways, which is not surprising - their authors rarely come to a consensus. For example, if one of them can be read that this picture portends some business that requires extreme exertion from the performer, then the other indicates a possible he alth disorder. Nevertheless, in modern editions one can find opinions that are held by most of the compilers.
We give only a few interpretations found in the most popular dream books. Seeing blood flowing from the nose, according to their compilers, means thoughtlessness shown in some very important matter and promising undesirable consequences, one of which may be the loss of money. But if atthis the dreamer had unpleasant sensations, then this, oddly enough, portends success in all his endeavors.
Often in dream books a lot of blood flowing from the nose is interpreted as a symbol of danger threatening someone from close relatives. In this case, it would be appropriate to take advantage of such a warning and, if not to visit, then at least call relatives by phone. Perhaps this will help prevent some kind of trouble.
Ugly dream scenes
Sometimes night visions give us pictures that, after waking up, we want to quickly erase from memory. However, regardless of whether we liked the dream or not, it carries a certain meaning, and therefore can be interpreted. For example, the dreamer vomited blood. Dream Interpretations do not bypass such a very unpleasant plot. For women, he portends some difficulties in the field of intimate relationships, and for men - the beginning of work on some long and extremely tedious production task or personal project. In both cases, the consequences of sleep will be especially negative if there was an admixture of bile in the blood seen in a dream.
Your own bloody hands can also become a very unpleasant sight. Dream Interpretations will help us understand this disgusting vision. It has been established that it visits people mainly during difficult periods of their lives. It is also noted that due to some media cliché that has entered the minds of people, most of them associate blood with aggression, violence and anger, while it would be correct to see it as a symbol of life. Nevertheless, both points of view were reflected in the interpretation of dreams.
In a number of sources, the image of one's own hands covered in blood is quite positive. In particular, it can mean the imminent arrival of relatives and the joy of meeting associated with this. In the Gypsy Dream Book, he is even seen as a harbinger of receiving an inheritance. However, not all interpreters are so optimistic. Some of them warn that such a dream may indicate a he alth disorder, and recommend consulting a doctor.
Some more nuances related to bloody hands
Interpreted in dream books and someone else's blood on their hands. Often they see in it a sign that in reality the dreamer is guilty of something in front of these others. It is even possible that the retribution for this will be a general dislike for him and the collapse of a successfully launched career. If in a dream one of the relatives appears with bloody hands, then in reality one should exercise maximum caution, because this person can pose a real danger.
It is also possible that a complete stranger may appear in a dream, whose hands will be covered in blood. In this case, the authors of the dream books warn that no matter how terrible its appearance, one should not be afraid. His image only indicates that in real life the dreamer committed a rash act, which he will later repent of. However, time has not yet passed, and you can try to fix the situation.
Unlike bloody hands, one's own face coveredblood, in most cases it is perceived by interpreters of dreams as a very positive sign. Many of them see in such a vision a symbol of imminent enrichment and the onset of a happy streak in life. It is curious that there is even a recommendation to smear blood on the lips (in a dream, of course). In this case, the dreamer is guaranteed success in all his endeavors and rapid career growth.
