Cutting Dream Meaning

Dreaming of something being cut, or of cut pieces and scraps, is usually tied to the feeling of a chapter of life ending or a relationship being severed. What is being cut changes the meaning a great deal.

• A cut on your hand or body

  This points to an emotional wound that has not fully healed, even though everything looks fine on the surface.

• Cutting fruit or vegetables

  This scene often stands for everyday tidying up, getting yourself ready for a new step in life.

• Cutting cloth or paper

  You are preparing to move away from an old identity or plan and build something new.

• Cut pieces scattered all around

  Pieces that cannot be joined again show that a situation in your life has reached a point from which there is no going back. The scene may feel uncomfortable, but it is really a step toward acceptance, toward moving on with what remains instead of staying stuck on what is lost.

Cutting does not always mean loss. When you trim the branches of a tree, new leaves grow, and in the same way, removing some parts of life makes room for something new to grow.
