Dream meaning: Amputation

AmputationConsider the specific body part that has been or was being amputated to determine the kind of power or energy or expression you’ve lost, or fear you will lose. If already amputated it may indicate a serious emotional scar trauma; loss of confidence or self-esteem. If some part of an animal, consider that animal and its quality/characteristics. How do you need to bring more of that quality into your life?

    I had a dream that I was to have both legs amputated from mid thigh. I was taken into the basement of a hospital and instead of anasthetic, they used an animal tranquilizer on me. After my operation my friend picked me up, and a few days later the same friend has had the same dream…

    I had a vision of an amputated limb. Then as I started to doze off I saw my husband injured in an accident.

    Last night I had a dream that my right foot was amputated. The nurse I saw gave me local aneasthetic and we were fighting because I didn’t want any of this. Then she took the saw and just had a problem with which foot to cut…

    I told her that if it has to be done then it’s better if it’s the left one, but she just chose the right one and cut it. There was no pain, but a shock and just a devastation from the fact that I don’t have that foot anymore.

    When I got home I realised that the amputation was not needed because, if it was, then she would not be thinking about which foot to amputate. It is morning now and I am still thinking about the dream. It’s a really horrible feeling.

    I had a dream that I was dressed as a ballerina and I was on an operating table. The surgeon said she had to amputate my foot the only thing was that there would be no anesthetic. The nurse started to take my ballet shoe off, I started to cry out no not my foot. I was gagged to muffle my screams of agony then I heard the surgeon say saw then I felt my foot being cut off.

    In my dream i met a guy i knew (only knew this guy in my dream, not in real life).
    We stood outside a pub (that his family owned) and he started to cut his fingers off, one by one, then both his hands.
    After that he began to amputate my fingers and hands in the same method.
    I didnt want him to do it but at the same time i wasn’t concerned with stopping him from doing so.
    The dream was really graphic. I could hear and feel everything that was happening.

    I dreamt I was being held captive, and the kidnapper had amputated my left foot and four fingers. He held me and my friend (her unharmed) for two years. Then we escaped somehow…

    I had a dream we were in my barn with lots of sheep and the doctor was trying to put me under anesthetics and he had me things out of a folder until I was out but just as I was about to go under he ran out of anesthetics and I was awake and he told me I used up one full patch of anesthesia. Then I was crying about having my left arm cut off. I was biting a thing of rubber and my mom was there. I woke up in a hospital bed and my arm was gone but I could still feel my fingers.

    Last night I had a dream and in it the guy I was dating and I had recently just hit a roadblock… He was sitting in a wheelchair and had had his one leg amputated from an injury… what does that mean? Also in my dream I was being flown to Haiti to meet with someone for work, I was living the dream pretty much.

    In my dream I had both legs amputated… and I remember drinking 2 glasses of a substance which will stop me from feeling the pain. And at the end I could feel not having legs.

    I dreamed that my leg was amputated and I tried to hide it with high boots. But everybody knew, looked at me differently and felt sorry for me. I was walking ( it was hard to walk with the condition of my leg) and ran into a friend, started crying and he said stop crying and hugged me.

    I dreamed of someone I knew. Her leg was amputated and she was crying in pain.
