Hands Dream Meaning

Dreaming of hands is usually tied to your ability to act and your sense of connection with others. Hands are how people build, touch and hold on, so the hands in your dream show where you stand, deep down, on how much control you have over your life. Both the condition of the hands and what you do with them matter here.

• Strong, healthy hands

  You trust your own work and are ready to move toward your goals.

• Weak or shaking hands

  This brings out a fear of not being able to handle a task properly.

• Tied hands

  Dreaming that your hands are tied, or that you cannot move them, expresses a feeling of helplessness in some real situation.

• An injured hand

  You fear losing one of your abilities or an opportunity you have.

• Holding someone's hand

  This dream speaks of how deep the relationship is, and of how much you rely on that person.

• Pulling your hand free and walking away

  This can point to a separation, or to a wish to go your own way freely.

• Building something with your own hands

  Making something with your own two hands shows most clearly how much trust you have built in your own hard work.
