Ankle in a dream

Biblical meaning from Hearing God's Voice in Dreams by Apostle Nicholas V. Mbanjwa

Also: Ankle joint, Ankles, Ankle deep

What it means

Physical stability, spiritual healing, and pride.

Strength, spiritual depth and adornment.

Ezekiel's river was first measured at the ankles — the shallowest place of entry, where a person has only begun to go in.

✦ When it is positive

  • Strength
  • Flexibility
  • The first depth of the river, where one begins to enter God's flow

⚠ When it is a warning

  • Pride, as with the daughters of Zion walking with stretched-forth necks and tinkling with their feet
  • An ankle turned or weak, representing stability lost

How to tell the difference

ANKLE-DEEP WATER indicates a beginning rather than a limit — note whether the dreamer goes deeper. Ornaments on the ankle may point to pride or display rather than to adornment alone.
