Cutting flesh in a dream occurs when the mind is attempting to separate or divide what is currently held as a single, cohesive whole. This process of mental partitioning serves to distinguish between different aspects of a person’s worldly attachments or the various connections that bind them to their social environment. The brain uses this imagery to sort through the complexities of what belongs to the self and what is merely part of a larger, perhaps overwhelming, accumulation of life.
The dream also shows the mind inspecting the durability of what has been gathered and the reliability of what is owned. This division uncovers where connections to kin or property are becoming difficult to manage.
Loss may accompany this division, because the act of separating reduces the original mass. This shows that certain bonds or goods cannot be kept in their present shape. However, this process provides a necessary clarity that allows for a more precise understanding of one’s actual standing. The dream leaves the dreamer with a clearer view of the essential elements that remain.

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.
