You

I saw my hands in my dream. What does it mean?

Seeing hands in a dream points to your work life. In the classical interpretation, the right hand is a person's livelihood, wealth and goodness; strong, sound hands are interpreted as earnings and wounded hands as harm coming to your work.

The symbols in your dream

  • Your hands growing larger or longer: Points to your work growing, more earnings or a promotion.
  • Putting cream on your hands: Points to fixing a problem at work.
  • Seeing your hand wounded: It is a warning of harm coming to your work.
  • Open hands: Point to generosity.
  • Light coming from your hand: Points to rising in knowledge or rank.
  • Seeing your hands chained: Points to debt or helplessness; breaking free of the chain is good.

In short

A hand dream describes the state of your work and livelihood. If your hands looked strong, clean and large, your work will open up and your earnings will grow. If you saw a wound or chains on your hands, you need to be careful about a setback at work.

Advice

  • If your dream was good, thank Allah and share it only with people who love you.
  • Fix problems at work before they grow.
  • Be as generous as you can; the giving hand is better than the receiving hand.

Allah knows best the truth of dreams.
