Cutting can separate a single entity from itself and change its form. When two items or persons are cut apart, their bond is severed.
If you dream that your body or skin has been cut, your dream may symbolize a major change in your life, personality or patterns of behavior. Dreaming of two persons or items being cut apart can symbolize a broken relationship or association. You may feel a need or longing to be free of a person, problem or situation.
The method used to cut can also be important in interpreting your dream. Knives are a symbol of male sexuality and aggression and may symbolize anger or a wish to harm. Scissors can shape things and can symbolize control or a wish to reshape an issue of concern.
Self injury is a serious issue in our society. If you have self-abuse issues in waking life and have these dreams frequently, please talk to someone. Bella's Abuse Survivors site has help, information and resources.
May all your dreams come true!
