Dream Meanings About The Blood

Blood - Dream Interpretation & Meaning

The Symbolism of Blood in Dreams

Universal Landscape: Life force, passion for living.

Dreaming Lens:

Was the blood a healthy red, or a depleted blue? Was it a strange and unnatural color? Was the blood flowing from a wound, and if so, was it being lost slowly or rapidly? Did you find the blood repulsive or fascinating?

Personal Focus:

Blood, the elixir of life, symbolizes vitality, energy, and life force. If your dream involves receiving or losing blood, it could suggest a need for more energy or a reflection of depletion due to external situations. The context of the blood—whether from a wound or a medical procedure—adds depth to the interpretation. A wound inflicted by another may reflect external struggles, while a medical procedure may symbolize internal healing.

Blood Types and Compatibility:

Science shows us that certain blood types are incompatible, and in dreams, this could symbolize conflicts about compatibility in personal or professional areas. Issues of life and death can be associated with blood type compatibility, so consider the Dreaming Lens to uncover underlying conflicts or fears. Blood is also seen as something potentially dangerous, carrying diseases like HIV, which can shift our conscious view of blood to something that should be feared or avoided.

Bloodlines and Family Connections:

Bloodlines have historically been viewed as evidence of ancestry and class-consciousness. In dreams, blood can connect to primal feelings about family ties, either reflecting powerful passion or energy depletion. The context of your dream may reveal how your family connections impact your emotional well-being.

The Color of Blood:

The color of blood is significant, whether oxygen-rich and healthy deep red, or blue from depletion. If color plays a role in your dream, consider its meaning carefully. In science fiction, alien blood can be green or colorless, suggesting otherworldly connections or ideas.

Cultural and Personal Associations:

Cultural meanings also affect the symbolism of blood. "Red-blooded" suggests strength and virility, while "blue-blooded" refers to passivity and privilege. Historical prejudices about blood and race may also emerge in your dreams. Your personal reaction to blood—whether squeamishness, curiosity, or indifference—can reveal your relationship with passion, vitality, and energy in your current life.

One’s blood in a dream also represents his own Satan, or an enemy that dwells inside his house. Drinking one’s own blood in a dream means paying one’s debts with second loan, or vanquishing one’s enemy. Bleeding naturally in a dream means peace and comfort. Excess bleeding in a dream means the opposite.

The bleeding of an unwed woman means finding a husband. Bleeding of a pregnant woman in a dream means a miscarriage and for an elderly woman, bleeding means an illness. Ifone sees blood coming from his anus in a dream, it means that he is tainted with the consequences of an evil act, or it could mean a bad deal, or that he has earned unlawful money then walked out of such a deal.

Blood is an important symbol, not only of life itself, but also of the soul, of physical strength and rejuvenation. Whether you were cut or seriously injured, dreams in which you are losing blood or suffer a hemorrhage may therefore refer to loss of moral or physical strength; they may simply indicate a need for more emotional nourishment. Dreaming of drinking blood or receiving a blood transfusion may refer to the opposite: gaining strength and vitality.

If a person you know gives you blood in your dream, your unconscious may have signaled that they have the potential to revitalize you.

If a woman dreams of blood, it may be associated with the onset of a period, the blood depicting whatever feelings she may have about menstruation. Blood is also a symbol of passion, love, anger and even violence.

Bloodshed symbolizes the sacrifice. All liquid materials that ancients offered to the dead, spirits, and to the gods (milk, honey, wine) were images or allegories of blood. This was the most precious gift, and was presented in classical cultures through the sacrifice of lamb, pig, and bull. Further, it is a symbol of life.

If you dream that you are bleeding out, you may experience physical tiredness or you may feel emotionally drained. On the other hand, it could also indicate a profound change in your personality. In either case, blood can represent a range from passion and love to fury and violence.

It is an admonition that you reflect on your actions, as you may be forgetting one of your values. (See Also: RED)

Red. ‘Blood is a very special liquid,” (Goethe: Faust, Part I)—it is that which is alive, the driving sub- stance, expressing fire and passion (something that Freud and Jung agreed on). Life, love, and passion, hut also injury and disappointment. Blood also—and often—points to Mother, and can symbolize soul and will. When the “voice of the blood” is speaking, a very special sensibility or domination of one’s urges is being addressed.

Exchanging blood (or drinking blood) represents a joining of life forces (brotherhood).

The blood of Christ is symbolically served at communion; it has a universal healing power.

Loss of blood usually means loss in love; blood transfusion corresponds to the strengthening of vitality.

(1) Blood may be a symbol of life, or, if shed, of death, and therefore - if on one’s hands — of guilt.

(2) Blood may also symbolize passion, especially love or anger.

(3) Possibly the blood is (displaced) menstrual blood. By ‘displaced’ I mean that what you are really seeing in your dream may be menstrual blood even though it appears as just a pool of blood on the pavement or a nosebleed.

If you are a woman, such a dream may be expressing a sexually related anxiety; if you are a man, it may express your horror - that is, fear - of sex and / or women.

(4) Drinking blood means receiving (new’) life or strength. (In religious ritual, symbolically drinking the blood of a sacrificed human or animal may symbolize participation in the life and powder of God.)

[8]

To see blood in your dream is a symbol of energy, excitement and frustration.

If you see the word ‘blood’ written in your dream, it may be a reflection of some issue regarding stubbornness or rigidity.

Dreaming of blood can have one of two meanings. It can signify that we feel that a sacrifice is being made on some level. This links into the ancient belief that the blood somehow contained the life of the spirit and, therefore, spilt blood was sacred. It can also represent renewal of life through its connection with menstruation. Many people fear blood and thus a dream about blood can highlight the need to come to terms with these fears. On a more spiritual level it represents the blood of christ. Also consult the individual entry for blood.

This is portrayed not as injury but nourishment, wine or bloody meat. In sexual dreams: may refer to loss of virginity, menstruation or fertility, or hurt to sexual drive.
