A rotting hand signifies a decay in the capacity for action or the loss of a reliable support. The strength that a hand usually provides is being undermined by a state of corruption. A deed loses its grip and a brotherly bond fails.
The corruption of the symbol suggests that a foundation of help is no longer firm. A lack of vitality in the grip indicates that what was once used to build or hold is now failing. The dream points to a period where the ability to effect change is being diminished. A certain loss of agency is present.
Swollen hands expand the reading of the dream toward a state of incapacity. This enlargement of the symbol indicates that the loss of strength is accompanied by an obstructive pressure. The hand is rendered useless by its own excess.
Hands peeling add the sense of a forced unveiling to the dream. This shedding of the surface reveals the underlying rot by removing the outer boundary. The transition toward the truth of the decay is made visible.
For its more general meaning: Dream about hands
dreamt of seeing my right hand rotting, it was grey then i amputated two fingers and the hand too, that then i regretted it thinking i could’ve noticed sooner and healed it. I closed my eyes and prayed then opened eyes saw my hand was back healthy but saw a green straight vein going from elbow to wrist which felt weird. So I closed my eyes again prayed and it healed again then i took care of it then the dream was over. what does it mean? Thanks in advance <3

My dream was about my boyfriends hand, which was rotting so bad that it needed to be amputated, but it’s because he wouldn’t stop using drugs, that’s why it started to rot in the first place?
