What does it mean to dream of the human body?

A human body can appear in many ways in dreams. Bodies are of course made up of different parts and each area has a specific meaning in dreams. The way your body or others present themselves in dreams is important. Many people have contacted me to see dead bodies, multiple bodies, torsos, blood and severed body parts
The body is associated with our own physical manifestation of internal energies. In essence, our life force. A body can have not only the “spiritual” interiority but also the “ego” of action. Symbolically this is a great omen to find in a dream. The “body symbol” is connected to how we are creative and thoughtful. It is important to consider where you are spiritually when a body appears in the dream.
I suggest that this dream has the potential to help us understand our own body and also our mind. It could be that we need to think about our higher cognitive activities or about the perception and movement of the body. If we treat the dream image of a body as an abstract of our thoughts, then it shows that it is important to be aware of the dynamic flow of our own energy. Multiple dead or injured bodies are a popular dream. For example, I recently had a dream of multiple naked bodies when I needed to lose weight, for example.

It is interesting that the dream of the bodies can be connected with the tarot card of death. There is energy in the decomposition of the body, which breaks down matter. This energy releases new life and soul. Therefore, the dream of a body represents a need for change. Opening new possibilities. It could suggest that you have experienced a period of stagnation and death had come where dreams need new growth and open space. Therefore,
How do you feel about the body in your dream?

Many of us have dreams about bodies and murder. This could be related to the deletion or deletion of something important. There is a question of important life options when the current appears.
Anatomical learning in ancient times was about understanding the human body and indeed the workmanship of each body part. There was an oracle known as “Know Thyself” that was full of warnings that we should examine and admire ourselves and our bodies. Understanding what constitutes the source of our actions. Anatomy learning took this premise – and that the desire was to understand our actions and the changes we make and that should be visible. This was included in a comment by Philip Melanchthon, who devoted himself to humanistic medicine in 1540. The most important thing that dreaming about the body takes away from us is that we need to understand ourselves.
The Western cultural tradition around bodies is connected with birth, life and death in relation to the reality of the divine.

Dreams of certain body parts
Society during the medical age often pointed out that the anatomical dismemberment of the body does not fit into the “body of knowledge” and that in religion and also in history there is a meaning for the multiple parts of the body. Even if we look at artistic masterpieces like Leonardo’s or Michelangelo’s portraits of the body’s organs, they pay attention to each of the isolated parts of the body.
