An elbow in a dream can symbolize the need for, or creation of, personal space. It means you need “elbow room,” space to maneuver. “Throwing elbows” means creating space, such as in basketball, when elbows are used to ward off defenders. That ideas connects with the feeling of being hemmed in, or the walls are closing in around you and you need space to breathe. “Elbow grease,” meaning applying yourself vigorously to a task. Dreaming about breaking an elbow can symbolize something that hinders ability to work or apply yourself. Elbows are used in waking life to surreptitiously direct attention at something, so in dreams they can be used to subtly point you in the right direction. In some dream-interpretation traditions, elbows are associated with sexual function, specifically with arousal or “getting worked up.” Thus, injury to an elbow can symbolize sexual dysfunction. Connectors between parts of the body can have compound symbolism. Elbows connect the upper arm to the forearm. The upper arm can symbolize strength, emotional connection, and hard work, while the forearm can symbolize grasp (the muscles for gripping are located in the forearms) and help with accomplishing tasks. In this sense, an elbow can symbolize the strength to hold on under difficult circumstances, or the need for help with work. Extend the idea further and a connector can symbolize a person to whom you are connected by bloodline, friendship, or circumstance. It can symbolize a connection in the sense of someone who can help you. Connection can also be used in the sense of emotional connection or attachment. A bent elbow can symbolize the idea behind the phrase “bent out of shape.” Extend the idea further and a bent elbow can symbolize ability to adapt.
