FINGERNAILS
Biblical dream symbol meaning
How fingernails appeared in your dream
Dreaming of long, healthy fingernails — Represents strength, readiness for spiritual labor, and the ability to grasp and hold onto God's promises. Just as Nebuchadnezzar's nails grew like birds' claws during his humbling, healthy nails may symbolize restoration and proper human dignity under God's authority.
Daniel 4:33
Dreaming of broken or damaged fingernails — Signifies weakened ability to work in God's kingdom or loss of spiritual strength and effectiveness. May indicate a season of humbling or inability to properly handle the things of God.
Daniel 4:33
Dreaming of cutting or trimming fingernails — Represents purification, preparation for service, or the removal of excessive worldly attachments. Symbolizes making oneself presentable and proper before God, as captured servants trimmed their nails before entering their new households.
Deuteronomy 21:12
