Dreaming of Injuring Your Face - dream meaning with inherited lore
A scene of injuring your face is sometimes connected to worries that your pride or dignity might be shaken.
There is a wound, bruise, or blood on your face. You may hide it so others will not notice, or keep checking it in the mirror.
Korean lore: Traditionally, wounds on the face have sometimes been interpreted as damage to your reputation or emotional pain caused by other people. They may also be seen as a strong image created by worries you have kept buried for a long time. (In folk dream interpretations, damage or wounds to the face have traditionally been read as symbols of harm to your social standing or relationships.)
Through the mind: This scene may appear after being criticized publicly at work or having your pride hurt by something someone close to you said. Rather than pointing to a physical problem, the dream may be showing the vulnerability you felt while being judged.
