An interpretation of nose dreams

An interpretation of nose 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. To dream about your nose can indicate the need to “sniff out” a situation or trust your instincts. Perhaps you “smell a rat” or “something smells fishy.” Or, like a bloodhound, you might be on the hunt, following a trail of clues or signs. In such a dream you will probably follow a trail of clues or have something you need to find. You might even detect a smell. The nose in a dream can be a play on the word “nosy.” Someone is snooping or sticking his nose where it doesn’t belong. Damage to the nose can indicate you aren’t using your instincts. It can mean you fail to notice something. Cutting off the nose can be a way of visualizing the expression “cut off your nose to spite your face,” meaning overreact to a situation in a way that creates embarrassment. To smell a scent while dreaming can mean you are actually smelling something as you sleep, such as smoke, or it’s used as symbolism. For example, if you smell rot while dreaming, it can mean something is figuratively rotting or in decay, such as a relationship that should have ended long ago. Most people don’t have the sense of smell as part of their dreams, except for people who use scent regularly as part of their occupation, such as perfume testers and chefs.
