Scar in a dream

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

Also: Wound mark, Blemish, Old scar, Marks on the body

What it means

Survival and testimony — a healed wound; carrying the marks of Jesus on the body.

A reminder of God's faithfulness.

Jacob's thigh was touched and he limped ever after, but he went away with the blessing. The mark and the blessing came from the same encounter.

✦ When it is positive

Evidence of healing
A testimony carried in the body
The marks of the Lord Jesus

⚠ When it is a warning

A scar treated as shame rather than testimony

How to tell the difference

A scar means the wound is CLOSED — the dream concerns what a person has come through rather than what they are still in. For an open injury see Wound; for its closing see Stitches.
