Deformed

Deformity in our dream represents our own inability to grow or flourish properly in your life. Your dream wants you to examine what is stopping this natural beauty from developing. We are common known to dream of deformed teeth, hands, feet, animals, toes and babies – symbols that point you towards what area is damaged in your life that needs to be made conscious. Usually these deformities connect us to past traumas, painful childhood experiences (see inner child), fears, ignorance, low confidence; feelings that are felt on the inside are expressed on the outside.

Deformity is a message that something isn't constructed quite right. It can also signify that one aspect of your life is thriving at the expense of something that is being undermined or 'malnourished.' Any symbol that is deformed, or constructed in an 'unusual' way, offers clues to that part of your nature that is undeveloped, or expressed unnaturally. If it is something in nature, it can suggest unnatural growth or a type of protectiveness that is holding you back. A deformed body part can have associations with the body part used as a symbol -see: Anatomy and Body Parts. Also see: Animals, Houses and Buildingsand Landscape and Scenery.
