Dreaming of Blood
Life force, cost, and what something is taking out of you.
The traditional read
Blood meant vitality when seen flowing, and depletion when lost.
What it usually means now
Blood in dreams is about cost. Bleeding without pain often tracks with giving more than you can replace. Blood on your hands is the classic guilt image, and appears after a decision where someone else absorbed the consequence.
But symbols don't dream alone
A dictionary entry can't see the room, the person standing in it, or how it ended. Describe the whole dream and get a reading that uses blood as context, not as the answer.
