An interpretation of menstruation dreams

An interpretation of menstruation 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. As a part of the process of reproduction, menstruation can connect symbolically with any aspect of it: fertility, conception, sexuality, choice of partner. In simplest terms, menstruation is a process of letting go of the old to make way for the new, and that association carries many possibilities for symbolism. For example, you let go of your feelings for your ex to open up to the possibility of a new relationship. You let go of old ideas about yourself so new ones can emerge. On rare occasions, dreams about missing a period can foretell actual pregnancy. The body has an early-warning system that speaks through dreams. However, usually a reference to a missed period in a dream is symbolism. For example, it can mean a woman is “late” for something. See: Pregnancy For a female, any reference to blood or bleeding can refer to menstruation. For example, a woman dreams that she’s scheduled to give blood and suddenly realizes the appointment was a week ago. She wonders whether her doctor will be mad at her. The dream refers to the fact that her period is a week late and she wonders whether she needs to visit her obstetrician. See: Blood Dreams about leaky or running faucets and things that collapse are prevalent in women just before their periods. Another prevalent theme is ironing, both because of the need for iron in the diet to replace what’s lost with menstrual blood, and because the surface of the endometrium appears wrinkled just before it sloughs off. Ironing is associated with eliminating wrinkles. You don’t have to be aware of how this process works in order to dream about it. For a young girl, menstruation is associated with onset of puberty. For a fertile, sexually active female who doesn’t want to get pregnant, it’s the monthly sense of relief. For a middle-aged woman it’s the monthly affirmation that she’s not in menopause. Dreams can begin with these associations and branch out far and wide. For a man it might symbolize abstinence from sex or handling his wife’s or girlfriend’s moods. Menstruation is “your period” and can be used to symbolize a period or cycle of life. As part of the creation process, menstruation can have deep significance related to it.
