Strength to do; power applied.

The servant put the bracelets upon her hands — the tokens on the wrist declared a covenant before a word was spoken about it.

  • God's favour
  • Blessing
  • A covenant token received

⚠ When it is a warning

  • Bound or shackled wrists, representing capacity restrained
  • Ornaments stripped away

How to tell the difference

ALWAYS CHECK WHAT IS ON THE WRIST, as the object determines the meaning of the dream — a bracelet speaks of covenant and honour, a chain of bondage, a watch of time, a medical band of infirmity. Note also who placed it there.
