Dreaming of blood

Blood is among the most charged of dream images, and its meaning bends to context. It can mean vitality and passion, the life running through you; it can mean injury and depletion, energy you're losing; it can mean family and the ties of blood.

The fierce goddesses of myth are often bloodied — not from cruelty but from the raw cost of creation and change. If blood appears in your dream, ask where you're pouring your life, and whether it's a wound to tend or a power to honor.

Dream meanings are reflective, not medical or predictive. If a dream troubles you often, be gentle with yourself — and talk to someone you trust.
