I haven't been remembering my dreams for a few months now, but yesterday I had a memorable dream again. I had an accident with some kind of machine and it smashed my left hand. I felt pain in the dream and there was blood. In the dream I passed out and woke up again later in hospital. My hand had been bandaged and cleaned, but three fingers could not be saved and had been amputated. So I had this really ugly, useless left hand with only small finger and index finger. Strangely, I didn't care that much, neither did anyone else, it was treated like a minor flesh wound. But then, still in the dream, when I woke up again the next morning, I found that my fingers had all regrown. The only weird thing about them was, they were a bit crooked, not straight like fingers normally are. They also hurt slightly when I used them. But I told myself that this was worth it. Again, nobody was really surprised by my magical finger-growing abilities. That was it. Although it was a bloody, creepy dream, it wasn't a nightmare.
from dreammoods.com- Machinery
To see machinery in your dream suggests that you are too mechanical - going about your way without much thought and making decisions without thinking it through. You need to get out of your boring pattern. Alternatively, the machinery symbolizes your mind or your body. Examine how the machinery is running and its condition and function. If the machinery is in need of repair, then it suggests that you may need to repair aspects of your self-image or a relationship.
Bandages
To dream that you have bandages indicate your need to heal. You may be feeling emotionally wounded and are trying to cover/shield your hurt from others. Consider where on the body was the bandage for more additional clues.
Left
To dream of the direction left symbolizes the subconscious and your repressed thoughts/emotions. It is an indication of passivity.
Hands
To dream of your hands represent your relationships with those around you and how you connect with the world. Hands serve as a form of communication and can represent authority, hate, protection, justice, etc depending on the gesture. Perhaps you need to lend a helping hand to someone. The left hand symbolizes your graciousness and your feminine, receptive qualities, while the right hand symbolizes the masculine and active attributes. The right hand may also be a pun for some decision or something being "right". If you dream that your hand or hands are detached or see disembodied hands, then it indicates that you are not getting your point of view across. You are not being understood or someone is not understanding you. The dream may also symbolize feelings of loneliness. To see blood on your hands signifies that you are experiencing some sort of guilt.
Amputation
To dream that your limbs are amputated signifies abandoned talents and serious, permanent losses. It indicates your feelings of frustration, powerlessness and helplessness. Sometimes amputation may also represent a situation that you have been ignoring and has finally reached a crisis point.
Fingers
To see your fingers in you dream symbolize physical and mental dexterity. They indicate manipulation, action and non-verbal communication. If you dream that your fingers come off somehow, then it suggests that you are letting a situation dominate you or dictate how you behave. You may be literally losing your grip on life. To dream that your fingers are injured or have been chopped off denote your anxieties about your ability to accomplish some demanding task or perform in some waking situation. To dream of your index finger or forefinger symbolizes the number one. It also signifies authority, direction, and judgment. Your dream may be trying to make a point.
