Open Wound

Dreaming of an open wound is an eloquent message from the subconscious that you have deep emotional pain or an unresolved conflict that needs attention and healing. This wound may be related to past events or current relationships that cause you suffering. In Jungian terms, an open wound can represent an archetypal connection to a wounded healer or the vulnerability of the individual Self. The positive interpretation is that the dream prompts you to face your pain and begin the healing process. The negative aspect indicates a risk of infection – both physical and emotional – if you do not pay attention. The location of the wound is key to interpretation.
