Limping

Depth Psychology: Limping indicates hard times and the difficulty you have managing your life. Present problems are clearly of your own making. Are you making things more difficult than they have to be? Are you the one who is putting obstacles in your own path? Do you want to force others to help you? Who is it that you are “limping” after? See Foot, Legs.

In myth, the most famous limp belonged to the Greek god Hephaestus, husband of Aphrodite. Ares / Mars, with whom Aphrodite has an affair, is seen as being Hephaestus’ shadow side. Hephaestus is considered the personification of Fire.

If the limping is caused by one’s right leg in the dream, it could mean that an illness will inflict one’s son, Ifthe limping has affected the left legin the dream, it could mean that one’s daughter will be engaged. Ifone has no children, or if he has no plans to travel, then limping in a dream means a warning to set back, slow down and to be careful about his next move.

If one’s leg is dislocated in a dream, it means that his wife may get sick. Limping in a dream also means longevity, knowledge and religious understanding. Seeing a woman limping in a dream means receiving something deficient.

The same goes if a woman sees someone limping or hopping on one foot in her dream. Limping in a dream also represents trickery, perfidy, or treason.
