Body Parts in Dreams
What do they mean?
by Cortney Litwin
 
Have you ever had a dream where a certain part of your body was emphasized, like it was somehow significant? Dreaming of your hands, hair, lips, eyes, or even parts south of the border, can illuminate what's going on in your life. Pay special attention to what's happening with your body in the dream. Is something amiss? If so, you probably have an issue with whatever that part represents.
One night, Donna dreamed that she was trying to comb her tangled hair. It was a slow, painful process that took all her concentration. At the time, she was confused and stressed out over problems with her boyfriend. Because hair symbolizes the effects of your thoughts, Donna's dream was telling her that her lack of clarity ("tangled" thinking) was contributing to her relationship problems. She needed to take the time to untangle (clarify) what was causing the difficulties with her boyfriend
To help you understand your dreams better, refer to the following list of body parts in dreams and interpretation of what they mean.
Head or Brain The intellect, ego, brainpower, will, pride. Positive scenarios indicate you have a balanced will and your ideas promote growth and creativity. Negative scenarios indicate something is out of balance. You may be too willful, too prideful, or your ideas may be too extreme or destructive in some way.
