Entity psychology — arm
Embodied self — arm as body part maps directly to agency, health, or identity anxiety. Visibility — Wound or change on arm is seen by others or hidden under clothes. Function fear — What arm does waking (speak, walk, see) informs the dream read. Aging or loss — Decay, removal, or damage to arm often tracks mortality anxiety fairly. Boundary — Skin, edge, or joint imagery on arm marks where self meets world. Care access — Can you treat, cover, or ignore arm in the dream—agency check.
Attribute psychology — bleeding
Visible harm — Wound seen—cannot hide damage. Urgency — Care needed now. Life leak — Vitality leaving—fair health anxiety if primed. Stain spread — Harm affecting surroundings. Bandage hope — Repair may still work.
