Pulling out a splinter is a dream of the mind addressing a minor but persistent irritation. This process occurs when the brain attempts to resolve a small, nagging grievance that has been filed away during the waking hours. The brain uses this image to separate a specific point of friction so that the mind can move past it.
The dreamer finds that the act of addressing these small irritations can sometimes leave the underlying tension unresolved if the process is not completed. An incomplete removal leaves a resentment lodged under the skin that persists as a low, constant sting. Finding the capacity to identify these small points of friction is a step toward clarity.
A dream of removing a splinter cleanly moves with a swiftness that suggests the mental task is being handled well. This efficiency in the dream indicates that the mental sorting is working effectively, allowing for a rapid return to a state of ease.

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.
