Dirty fingernails in a dream show that the defenses used to meet the world have become soiled by the grit of recent events. This imagery arises as the brain sorts through the residue of contact with unrefined situations.
The dirt indicates that the methods of contact with the surroundings are currently obscured, marking a period where the debris of recent activity requires attention. While the accumulation of such matter can feel like a loss of composure, it primarily indicates that the mechanisms of self-protection are being tested by the very things they are meant to handle. The dreamer finds that the capacity for resilience remains intact once the surface is cleared.
For its more general meaning: Dream about nails
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.
