Bandage in a dream

Also: Wound dressing, Gauze wrap, Bandaged, Binding a wound

What it means

A need for healing; a fresh wound; hurting.

An act of mercy and compassion.

He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. The binding is God's own work before it is anyone else's.

✦ When it is positive

  • Emotional restoration
  • Divine justice and mercy
  • Restoration
  • The Samaritan binding up the wounds of a stranger

⚠ When it is a warning

  • A wound bandaged but not cleaned
  • Covering an injury rather than healing it

How to tell the difference

Note WHO applies the bandage and WHERE the wound is. A bandage applied by another points to mercy received; a bandage the dreamer applies to themselves may point to a hurt they are managing alone. See Stitches for the closing of the wound and Wound for the injury itself.
