Dreaming of Cutting Your Hand - dream meaning with inherited lore
A scene of cutting your hand may be a dream that looks back on a moment when you were hurt in work or a relationship you had worked hard to maintain.
A knife or other sharp object cuts your palm or fingers, and they begin to bleed. Startled, you press the wound or fumble around for something to wipe away the blood.
Korean lore: Traditionally, a scene of blood coming from the hand has sometimes been interpreted as a loss at work or an injury caused by a relationship. However, if you washed or treated it after a lot of blood was drawn, it may also be seen as a process of clearing away an old burden. (In folk dream interpretation, an injury and blood on the hand have sometimes been read as metaphors for the results of work, the flow of money, and hurt feelings between people.)
Through the mind: A scene like this may come to mind when something that seems small, such as a single remark or a mistake at work, continues to weigh on you. If your urge to treat the wound was stronger than your fear at seeing the blood, the dream may also hold a wish to recover.
