A wound is an indication that something dramatic and dangerous has already occurred. It not only is evidence of the event itself, but also symbolizes the residual damage that the wounding event may have left you vulnerable to. While wounds to the body are physical in nature, they can symbolically represent emotional, psychological, and spiritual wounds as well.
The most important thing to consider about a wound in a dream is the state that it has left you in.
The greater the risk, the higher the stakes of the life situation that the dream is expressing.
