What It Can Point To
- Base symbol: cutting, threat, separation, precision, anger, or defense.
- Modifier meaning: The method of cutting may fail.
- Check ordinary causes first: stress, grief, memory, illness, conflict, media, alcohol, medication, or bad sleep.
- A repeated modifier matters more than one strange image after a difficult day.

Before You Decide
Read the ordinary cause first. Then read the pattern. If you skip the ordinary cause, you will scare yourself and call it intuition. I do not work that way.
If you feel at risk of harming yourself or someone else, contact emergency help or a crisis service now. Do not sit alone with it. One dream detail is not proof against another person and not a command to act.
