An interpretation of deformation dreams

An interpretation of deformation dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. Think of deformity in a dream as a physical representation of something askew, out of kilter, or misunderstood. It can mean something is not right. Think: “distorted.” Deformity can reflect a distorted self-image, especially if a mirror is involved. See: Mirrors It can symbolize excessive self-criticism. It can symbolize severe issues with body image, or show self-loathing, heavy guilt, or shame. Deformity can be a way of visualizing an undeveloped aspect of yourself, or something about yourself that’s repressed, ignored, or disrupting your development or creativity. Creations are formed, so deformation can mean the creation process is awry or incomplete. It can mean the internal picture of something hasn’t come into focus, or something about yourself has recently emerged from the unconscious and hasn’t taken distinct form yet. See: Beaches To dream about being dismembered can express feelings about being attacked personally. A situation is tearing you up. You go through the “meat grinder.” Deformity or dismemberment can symbolize an ill mood or bad temper. It’s “ugly.” See: Ugliness It can represent how you think people perceive you or react to you. If you get strange reactions from people, you can wonder if something really is wrong with you. Deformity can visualize personal damage done by making a terrible mistake, something that harms your image or reputation. It’s a physical representation. Carry the idea of “mangled” further, and it can symbolize a botched job or major fubar. It can symbolize something horrible or frightening. See: Creatures, Monsters It can symbolize action or behavior that does or could cause harm to yourself or other people. Taking daredevil risks, for example, can lead to the sort of accident that disfigures you. In which case, a dream about being disfigured in an accident can symbolize fear of its actually happening. Deformity or disfigurement can stem from personal neglect. It’s an extreme way of calling attention to your physical, emotional, or mental health.
