The Big Dictionary of Dreams

by Martha Clarke
Freudian psychoanalysis identifies thorns with painful events of sexual life; Jungian, with sentimental disappointments. Thorns also represent the pain always linked to pleasure, “there is no rose without a thorns.” This dream can also be caused by rheumatic pains or nocturnal insect bites. (See HEDGEHOG)

Dreaming of thorns announces fights and disputes with neighbors. Getting

pricked by them portends dangers concerning, in particular, money and career.

Thread This is one of the most ancient symbols of humanity. The thread represents the essential connection on the spiritual, social, biological planes, etc. Because of this, you can interpret the thread as the chain of circumstances that happen in your life, making up your destiny. So dreaming of thread that doesn’t end predicts health and many years of life. On the contrary, if it is broken, it announces illness or physical problems. The same interpretation is applicable to your emotional relationships or job. Threads of noble metals, such as gold or silver, predict success earned thanks to intelligence and subtlety.

Dreamers Dictionary

Vision: Being surrounded by thorns: times will be difficult for a while.

A woman dreaming about thorns is afraid of venereal disease. Looking at thorns: trouble in the love department. Getting pricked by a thorn: if you are a young girl it means fear of sexual contact.

If you are an adult, a friendship might come to an end. Falling into a bush that has thorns: you arc getting involved in a confusing situation—getting out of it will be difficult. Wearing a wreath of thorns on your head: you may be involved in much emotional hurt.

See Splinters.

Depth Psychology: Thorns express your unconscious fear of the “hazards” that come with sexual relationships. Like Sleeping Beauty, the dream for some women indicates that they are waiting for a prince to rescue them.

Ten Thousand Dream Dictionary

1- To dream of being pierced by a thorn or splinter signifies that a minor difficulty has got through our defences.

If the thorn draws blood, we need to look at what is happening in our lives which could make us vulnerable. In a woman’s dream this could represent the sexual act, or rather, fear of intercourse.

2- The thorn stands for physical suffering in dreams. In matters of health, it may indicate a vulnerability to infection.

3- The thorn, also associated with Christ, may signify that we arc dedicating ourselves to some element of our spiritual quest.

The crown of thorns indicates suffering for our beliefs.
