Bandage

A bandage in a dream symbolizes an attempt at protection, healing, or covering a wound, both physical and emotional.

Dream interpretation

Dreaming of a bandage reflects your desire for protection and healing from a certain pain or vulnerability. It may be a sign that you are actively trying to deal with emotional trauma or to protect yourself from further injury. In a Jungian sense, a bandage can represent archetypal care or a healing ritual you are undertaking. Its positive interpretation is that you are on the path to recovery and self-healing. The negative aspect may be associated with covering up the problem instead of resolving it openly, or with prolonged ignoring of a wound that needs medical attention. Pay attention to how tight the bandage is – it might be suffocating.
