Stitches in a dream

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

Also: Surgical sutures, Wound closure, Stitched up, Sutures

What it means

Recovering; being restored, bound up and revived.

Being mended; mercy; forgiveness.

He hath torn, and He will heal us; He hath smitten, and He will bind us up. The closing of the wound belongs to the same hand that permitted it.

✦ When it is positive

Healing
Being cared for
Being remembered
Restoration

⚠ When it is a warning

Stitches torn open, representing a healing interrupted
A wound closed over what was never cleaned

How to tell the difference

Stitches indicate a wound already being CLOSED rather than one still open — the dream usually concerns a season of recovery rather than of injury. Note whether the stitches hold, and who put them in.
