Fingerprints

To dream of seeing fingerprints, if they are not your own, suggests that you are missing someone or something. You may also be involved in a confusing relationship, in which you aren’t sure of the other person’s feelings.

If you dream of seeing your own fingerprints, or having them taken by police, you are feeling guilty about something. It’s possible that you haven’t been entirely truthful with a certain someone, or you’re blaming yourself for a real-life situation.

Fingerprints are created when the unique pattern on the tips of your fingers mixes with oils that your skin excretes, leaving a mark that can be unequivocally tracked back to your presence. You may be leaving your mark where you do not wish to, or you may be unaware that your impact has been noted by others. Conversely, the presence of fingerprints in a dream may indicate that something you are investigating in your own consciousness is slowly being revealed.

A dream of fingerprints on furniture or woodwork predicts minor financial stress; to dream of being fingerprinted for any official purpose signifies help from a friend.
