Dream interpretation
If you dream that your right hand is paralyzed, it indicates that you have committed a serious offense for which you are facing severe consequences. The paralysis of your right hand symbolizes limitations, failures, or losses resulting from your actions in certain areas of your life. It serves as a warning that you may encounter problems due to some of your actions or decisions.
Ibn Sirin
Paralysis — Islamic interpretation
From Imam Muhammad Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams According to Islamic Inner Traditions — entry "Paralysis" (page 319).
If one sees his right hand paralyzed in a dream, it denotes a great sin he has committed that warrants
such a severe punishment. If the right hand is paralyzed in the dream, it means that one earns his money from practicing usury, or it could mean that he is unjust toward a poor and a weak person. If one's left hand is paralyzed in a dream, it means that either his sister or his brother may die shortly. Ifhis thumb is paralyzed in a dream, it means that he will suffer from hardships because of his children. Ifthe index or the middle finger are paralyzed in a dream, it means that one may suffer because of his sister. If one sees his ring finger paralyzed in the dream, it means that he will suffer pain and difficulties because of an ailment that will befall his mother or a female relative. If one sees his little finger paralyzed in a dream, it means that he may suffer because of a daughter. Any infliction in one's hand in a dream represents one's brothers, while any infliction ofthe fingers in a dream represents his children. If one sees his right hand paralyzed in a dream, it means that he will lose his source of income. If one's fingers are paralyzed in a dream, it means that he has committed an awful sin. If one sees his right hand paralyzed in a dream, it means he has caused major losses to an innocent person. (Also see Body'; Physical paralysis)
