Definition
A broken person in a dream fractures without ending—person central, scene and emotion lead. Snippet lead: broken person dreams symbolize instinct under fractures without ending—witness, rescue, shame, or release scenes anchored to person, not generic omen. Compare person, dead person.

Power balance — Who leads, follows, or threatens in the person scene. Projection — Traits you assign to person may be disowned self. Work vs home — Context around person separates professional and private. Emotional charge — Attraction, rivalry, or indifference toward person primes tone.
Attribute psychology — broken
Structural failure — Form cracked but life may continue. Repair window — Fix possible before stillness. Guilt of cause — Did you break it or find it so. Partial function — Still works crippled—complicated hope. Break vs shatter — Clean crack vs total loss.
