What Does Dreaming of Bones Mean?

Traditional Interpretation

In traditional interpretation, especially according to Ibn Sirin, seeing bones in a dream may generally point to wealth, livelihood, and endurance; they can signify property that will sustain a person, power, or a loyal friend true to their word. A bone with meat on it may point to abundant earnings, while a broken or blackened bone may point to illness or a difficulty.

Psychological View

In the modern psychological approach, bone can stand for the "skeleton" of the personality—core values, resilience, and inner strength; in Jungian terms it may evoke the essence of life, what endures, and the awareness of mortality. A broken bone may point to a period in which one's foundations are shaken and one feels fragile or vulnerable.
