Being amputated in a dream is a process of the mind confronting a permanent parting with a valued support. This dream prepares the mind for a time when the ability to act or to lean on others is reduced.
The brain uses this imagery to process the sensation of a vital connection being severed. A feeling that one can do less often accompanies this sorting, as the mind settles into a reality where certain helps are gone. Such a dream carries the weight of a necessary but difficult transition. The dreamer finds that while a part of their strength is gone, the remaining self is already beginning to adjust to the new reality.
The dream of losing an arm shows how the mind suddenly perceives a sharp decline in its power to manage what comes. This reduction in what can be done makes clear the extent to which the dreamer depends on certain, often unseen, foundations of strength.
Owen SterlingInterpreter interprets your dreams
Many people believe a frightening dream announces something, when more often the brain was simply sorting the days just before it. During the night the mind files what was carried over from recent hours, and what gets filed loudest is what was felt most. A rough night leaves a residue by morning that fades with daylight. Nothing was sent. The sleeper was working, and the work is done.
