They say that dreams are dreams. But in reality there are always messages from your subconscious that, if you know how to interpret them, can help you in your day to day life. Either to change or to have hope for what is going to come to you. Some are more like nightmares, such as dreams of thorns. In fact, although it is said that pain cannot be felt, we do have that sensation.
But what does it mean to dream about thorns? Is it a good or bad omen? What if you get thorns stuck in your hands or feet? What if you hold them in your hand? If you've dreamed about them, here are the keys to understanding their meaning.
dream of thorns
It's important to keep in mind that dreaming about thorns isn't very common . It's not something we have readily available, nor is it something our minds typically conjure up in our dreams. However, you might find yourself in this situation at some point in your life.
Depending on the nature of the dream and the place and time when those thorns appear, the meaning will change. It's true that, generally speaking, it implies a problem, something negative, or a confirmation of your failure . But depending on the details you remember, everything can change.
So do not think at first that it is a bad omen. Although that is its general meaning, there are different details to take into account.
Dream of thorns in your hand
When you dream of thorns in your hands, your subconscious is trying to give you a warning . Most of the time it has to do with work. It could be that people don't like how you do your job, that there are people you don't get along with, etc.
So you have the opportunity to change to get this fixed.
Dream of plant thorns
As you know, there are plants that have thorns. Cacti or roses have them. What you may not know is that, when you dream of thorns, it may happen that there is a different meaning if they are cactus thorns than if they are rose thorns.
What does it depend on? The plant you see. If you can identify it and remember it when you wake up, the best thing you can do is look up the symbolism of that plant to be able to guess its meaning.
But, to give you an idea, if the thorns are on a rose, it means there are certain aspects you're not paying attention to that could affect your present or future life. They might not be major problems, but rather small ones; however, if you ignore them, they could worsen and cause bigger issues.
In the case of cactus thorns, we're talking about feeling a blow to your pride . And that will affect not only your self-esteem, but also your wallet.
If the thorns are from a bramble bush, for example because you find it on the path and continue moving forward , it will be indicating that you are going to enter a period of trials and problems that you will have to overcome to emerge victorious (or else be left behind).
Dream that I stick thorns in my hands
Although it's said that we can't feel pain in dreams, this isn't always the case, and you might find yourself pricking your hand with thorns in your dream. When that happens, it's generally interpreted as a sign of problems at work, which will affect your finances.
It could be that you lose your job, that your hours are reduced, that your salary is lowered...
Now, if in addition to dreaming about getting pricked by thorns, you also dream that you remove them all, then, although those problems still exist , there is hope because you will get out (there will be a solution to that problem you have).
Dream that I remove thorns from my feet
Just as thorns pierce your hands, having them in your feet indicates that you are facing many obstacles on your path and that your goals are fraught with difficulties . Therefore, to achieve them, you must be strong and persevere even when faced with situations that make you despair and want to give up.
But the fact that you're removing the thorns shows you're strong and that you're overcoming the obstacles in your path. We can't tell you that you'll achieve what you want, but you're much closer to it.
Dream with crown of thorns
As you know, the crown of thorns is one of the most powerful symbols of Christianity. Jesus himself wore a crown of thorns until his death. The problem is that its symbolism is related to suffering, torment, and living amidst hardship.
Dreaming of a crown of thorns is nothing more than suffering torture at the hands of your own subconscious . And it does so because it knows that, deep down, you too are aware that you have erred, that you have committed wrongdoings.
So, if you put a remedy to it, you can get ahead.
Dream of red roses with thorns
As we mentioned before, when dreaming about plant thorns, it's very important to remember which plant featured in the dream. In this case, and generally speaking, dreaming of rose thorns indicates that you're not paying attention to small details that could become significant if ignored (even affecting your mental health).
When that rose is red and has thorns, it warns us of pain . It's not something present, but rather speaks of a trauma, something that has marked us and hurt us, and we are unable to move on.
However, a more prevalent omen might be a betrayal by someone very close to you . It could be a partner, family member, friend… It truly warns us that something painful is going to happen, or that we are already immersed in it, but the rose itself (thorns aside) suggests that we will overcome it.
Dreaming of thorns has many meanings. Do you remember your dream and is it different from the ones we have told? Ask us and we will try to make sense of it!
