As most of the most respected experts testify, the blood seen in a dream is a harbinger of the fact that in a person’s life problems may arise related to family members, clan ties, as well as some things that were begun but not completed by his ancestors. However, in each case, the interpretation of blood in the dream books will depend on many different circumstances. We will try to figure them out.
Mayan Sages
We will begin our review of interpretations with a dream book, which is based on extracts from the texts of a people who lived on the American continent 2 thousand years before Christ and created one of the first civilizations on earth. Do not be surprised if some of their statements today seem strange.
Regarding the "bloody" dreams, the ancient sages left two news to the descendants - good and bad. According to the first of them, a person who sees himself in a dream bleeding with blood 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, he should (attention!) Pour coffee over his head. This is exactly what the compilers of the Mayan Dream Book teach us. In the mornings, it is very pleasant to eat this divine drink, but pouring it on your head before going to bed is something new, or rather, a well-forgotten old one, since it was done 4,000 years ago.
However, in this amazing dream book, blood 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 a common thing), then in real life someone will certainly try to harm him. But it is not all that bad. The Mayan Dream Book offers the surest means to protect oneself. 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 run away. It does not indicate only whose blood is needed for this - own or one of the alleged enemies.
Written Monument of Ancient China
The authorship of the "Zhou-kun Dream Interpretation" is attributed to the ancient Chinese politician of the XI century BC bearing this name. He went down in history as a notorious villain who did not spare even his siblings to realize his ambitions. Therefore, the blood, which he easily shed in reality, was interpreted by him extremely tendentiously in night visions.
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 it poured plentifully from a fresh knife wound, then he also promised a free drink and a snack. The harbinger of a joyful and long life, the sweetest 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 will bring him profit and speedy wealth. A blow with a sword, from which red splashes are scattered in all directions, is a harbinger of an early feast, and stained hands are a sign of great luck. Blood in the Zhou-kun Dream Book can confuse the dreamer only if he sees its spots on his own bed. They indicate that the wife or one of his concubines secretly indulges in debauchery.
Ancient Persian Dream Book Taflisi
Partly in tune with the creation of the bloodthirsty Zhou-kun, the interpretation of blood in the dream book, compiled on the basis of notes by the eastern astrologer Taflisi, who lived at the turn of the 12th-13th centuries. and considered an outstanding mystic of his time. At that distant time, his works were so highly valued that only royal persons were allowed to look into them. Other curious people could easily pay their heads.
Since over the past centuries, morals have significantly softened, and written by the wisest Taflisi can be read without any risk, we will use this opportunity to find out what the blood seen in a dream promises us. The dream book in question largely imprints the cruel customs of the Middle Ages, but at the same time illuminates the problem more versatile than the creation of Zhou-kun, which was discussed above.
So, the venerable Taflisi wrote that anyone who sees himself falling into a pool of blood will certainly reach wealth and the opportunity to spend his life in the most unbridled joys. But at the same time, her spots, somehow appearing on clothes, are a warning that in reality a dreamer may be suspected of something very unseemly and, moreover, absolutely irrelevant to him.
Very curious is another warning about what blood in a dream can mean. In the dream book of Taflisi it is said that if in a night vision the dreamer drinks it, then in reality he will most likely get involved in a certain scam with other people's property, which, apart from dishonor, will bring him nothing. This "gourmet" sage advises for a while to refrain from any doubtful transactions and wait for a more suitable moment.
And finally, according to the same dream book, 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 heavy punishment for this. The author does not indicate specifically what might be a temptation for him, but it is obvious that in those days, as now, the hope of “cutting money easily” led many to sin.
Bloody Dreams of Nostradamus
Now, from the Ancient East, we’ll be mentally transported to medieval Europe, where the famous astrologer, mystic and forecaster Michel de Nostradamus lived in the 16th century, who also gave descendants one of the most popular dream books today. Blood in the interpretation of the dreams of this amazing person has several meanings, determined by a number of plot features of what he saw.
For example, if it happens to observe in a dream her spots appearing on clothes, then in real life they may turn out to be a harbinger of an early meeting with a close relative who had been away for a long time and, finally, who made his visit happy.
Blood, flowing profusely in a dream, in reality can promise a certain strip 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 is shed (maybe even enemies) with some positive meaning. In his view, she exposes the dreamer in the frivolity shown in reality when solving some important issues. In addition, he reproaches that he tried to blame others for previously failed enterprises.
Further in the dream book it is said that if someone from close people in night dreams will bleed, then in reality the dreamer’s relationship will probably deteriorate with his relatives, and all because of his own egoism.
And finally, from the forecasts concerning private individuals, the author proceeds to the prediction of global political catastrophes. He writes that a dream in which the earth was flooded with blood is a harbinger of wars and social upheavals associated with numerous casualties.
Dream Book of Mr. Freud
No less detailed is said about what awaits the person who dreamed of blood in the dream book of the famous Austrian psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud. 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 the clothes portend an early quarrel, and possibly a complete break with a sexual partner. The cause of a broken relationship may be a carelessly abandoned word or even a misunderstood hint. Therefore, in the case of such a dream, it is necessary to be especially careful and prudent in relation to the subject of your passion.
Continuing an 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 that you pay close attention to your wife (or husband), because a dream can be a harbinger of impending adultery. This fully applies to couples in love who are not bound by official marriage.
Separately, the author addresses single women and young girls seeking to start a family. He warns them that if, soon after meeting a man they like, they see blood on their bodies in a dream, 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 a long relationship. Of course, if such a prospect suits a woman, then she can be perceived by her as completely 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 wary, but at the same time does not portend him any inevitable disasters. The author gives not only explanations of its secret meaning, but also provides brief recommendations on how to avoid negative consequences in the future.
For example, he writes that, having seen his clothes smeared with blood in a dream, one should be wary of enemies who secretly prepare a trap, and their number will correspond exactly to the number of blood spots, and this is information that helps to take security measures. Moreover, if the enemies intended to deliver an unexpected blow, then they obviously miscalculated, since the victim knew their plans.
Among other interpretations relating to dreamed blood, Miller’s dreambook indicates that a person who sees himself injured may 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 dress your wounds tightly in the same dream, and if the blood stops, then there will not be any complications in family life. Worse, when the bleeding did not stop. This can speak, firstly, about the inevitability of impending troubles, and secondly, about possible health problems. You should immediately undergo a routine examination by a doctor.
Moreover, the scientist wrote that blood in a dream can be associated with conflict situations that arise in a society between people who are not related. If hostility results in an extreme degree of confrontation, then in this case one should fear not only threats, but also real aggression.
How is monthly blood interpreted in the dream books?
For obvious reasons, such dreams often visit the beautiful half of humanity. They also have their own interpretations corresponding to their hidden meaning. However, it should be borne in mind that in most cases such images appear in a dream to those women whose critical days should come in reality soon, which means that what they saw is only a reflection of their real psychological state.
Nevertheless, in the dream books, menstrual blood is also presented as a carrier of certain information. For example, for a girl, she may be a harbinger of some important events - an acquaintance that determines the future life, a device for a new job or admission to a university. At the same time, if she sees that the menstrual blood has come through her friend’s clothes, then maybe she needs help. Note that a scene with someone else's blood can be dreamed of by a man, and its significance remains the same.
A dream in which a woman sees other people's periods may have a pronounced negative value. Some commentators associate it with the appearance of a secret rival or the spreading of gossip defaming her 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 healthy baby.
Dental problems in the plots of dreams
For a long time, strong and good teeth were considered a sign of general health and vitality. Therefore, night visions, in which the problems reflected in one way or another connected with them, are alarming and are forced to seek a proper explanation in the dream books. Teeth fall out with blood, as a rule, in the case of various diseases of the gums, therefore, the interpretation of such a plot of dreams is rarely positive, although in this case the details of what he saw are of great importance.
According to popular belief, if a deep wound remained in place of the 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. The great dream connoisseur Gustav Miller, whose views have already been mentioned above, wrote that when interpreting such stories, 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 he saw in a dream portends parting with someone from people that cause unpleasant feelings - an annoying fan, 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 awakening. In this case, we can really talk about some kind of bereavement.
The famous interpreter Martyn Zadeka, who at one time was one of the most popular dream books, approaches this issue in a very original way. Did the tooth fall out with blood? This, in his opinion, is an omen of bad news. Two lost teeth - to various troubles and shocks, 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 unquestioned authority, we will take on faith all of the above. Let us now dwell on some other issues, which are often of interest to readers.
In a dream, blood came from the nose - why would it?
The blood flowing from the nose in the dream books is interpreted differently, which is not surprising - their authors rarely come to a consensus. For example, if one of them can read that this picture portends a certain business requiring extreme stress from the performer, then the other indicates a possible health disorder. Nevertheless, in modern publications you can find the opinions that most compilers adhere to.
Here are just a few interpretations found in the most popular dream books. To see blood flowing from the nose, according to their compilers, means recklessness, shown in some very important matter and promising undesirable consequences, one of which may be the loss of money. But if at the same time the dreamer had unpleasant sensations, then, strangely enough, this 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 that threatens someone from close relatives. In this case, it will be appropriate to take advantage of such a warning, and if you do not visit, then at least make phone calls to relatives. Perhaps this will help prevent some kind of trouble.
Unsightly scenes seen in a dream
Sometimes night visions give us pictures that, after waking up, I 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, a dreamer vomited blood. Dream Interpretations do not ignore such a very unpleasant story. He portends some difficulties in the sphere of intimate relations for women, and for men - the beginning of work on some long and extremely tedious production task or personal project. In both cases, the effects of sleep will be especially negative if there is an admixture of bile in the blood seen in the dream.
Own hands in blood 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 the difficult periods of their lives. It is also noted that due to a certain media cliché that has entered the consciousness of people, most of them associate blood with aggression, violence and anger, while it would be right to see a symbol of life in it. Nevertheless, the interpretation of dreams reflected both points of view.
In a number of sources, the image of one's own hands covered in blood is quite positive. It, in particular, can mean the imminent arrival of relatives and the associated joy of the meeting. In the Gypsy Dream Book, he is even regarded as a harbinger of inheritance. However, not all commentators are so optimistic. Some of them warn that such a dream may indicate a health disorder, and recommend consulting a doctor.
Some more nuances associated with bloody hands
Interpreted in the dream books and other people's blood on their hands. Often they see in her a sign that in reality the dreamer is guilty of something in front of these people. It is even possible that the payback for this will be a general dislike of him and the collapse of a successful career. If one of the relatives appears in a dream with bloodied hands, then maximum caution should be exercised in reality, because real danger can come from this person.
It is also possible that in a dream a complete stranger may appear, whose hands will be covered with blood. In this case, the authors of dream books warn that no matter how terrible his appearance, one should not be scared. His image only indicates that in real life the dreamer committed a rash act, which he would later repent of. However, time has not passed yet, and you can try to correct the situation.
Unlike bloody hands, a person covered in blood in most cases is interpreted by interpreters of dreams as a very positive sign. Many of them see in this 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.
