　　Dream Interpretation: In dreams, an adult's body symbolizes that person's complete image (including their personality and traits) or conscious self. When a person is still a helpless infant, their body becomes their most important source of information.

　　Psychological Analysis: Hands are the most prominent part of the human body, symbolizing power and creativity. Dreaming of noticeably different hands or holding different objects in each hand reflects a conflict between your beliefs and emotional fluctuations. Hands on the chest symbolize submission; a handshake signifies agreement or friendship; clenched fists represent threat. Wrinkled hands symbolize calmness and composure. Covering one's eyes with hands indicates shyness or great fear. Forked wrists signify restraint. Open hands represent fairness. Hands on the neck symbolize healing or prayer. Hands together indicate no hostility or suspicion. Placing one's hand in another person's hand represents a commitment. Raised hands signify begging or submission. Palms facing outwards represent blessing or praise. Dreaming of touching one's head with one's hand indicates something requires careful consideration. Washing hands in a dream represents innocence, while a ring on the hand symbolizes distress. Dreaming of exceptionally large hands suggests you are a rare and outstanding person. Generally, the right hand represents power, while the left hand symbolizes weakness and passivity, sometimes also representing deception. Extending your hands signifies a desire to receive something from others that you lack—whether spiritual or material. Furthermore, this gesture can also represent an attempt to understand something beyond your current comprehension.

　　Case Analysis of Dreams about Hands

　　[Dream Example 1]

　　In my dream, I woke up in pain to find that one of my hands was severed. Just then, my son was holding a knife and slashing at my other hand. (Male, 34 years old)

　　Dream Interpretation: The protagonist in your dream appears to be the son who is stabbing his father with a knife, but in reality, the true protagonist is your wife.

　　You were probably overworked and longed for your wife's comfort and help. So, in your dream, you exaggerated your exhaustion and grievances, using the image of a child reaching for your hand to imply "how hard I'm working." That's why you used the image of a child killing its father to subtly express your grievances and exhaustion to your wife.

　　[Dream Example 2]

　　Dream Interpretation: Freely moving hands symbolize achievement. If you dream of long, strong hands, it signifies success in your career. Dreaming of redder hands than usual indicates a prosperous official career. Dreaming of your palm foretells receiving a gift from someone.
