Discover the dream symbol interpretation and spiritual meaning
As the saying goes ‘every thorn has its rose’ suggesting nothing is without flaws. When you dream of thorns suggests protection or defense. It could also be connected to Jesus and the thorns he used over his head during his crucifixion.
A thorn is a symbol of sin, worries, and cares in life, Matt. 13:7. A thorn can also symbolize the suffering of Christ on the cross, Matt. 27:29
In a dream, thorns represent a harsh, difficult, repulsive and a distressful person. Thorns in a dream also represent indebtedness, signing a loan, temptation, degeneration of moral standards, or social unrest. If a thorn pierces someone in a dream, it means that he will be tried with temptations, or that he will be hurt from something he hates. Walking on thorns in a dream means delaying or postponing payment of one’s debts upon maturity. Thorns in a dream also represent ignorant and evildoing people who uphold respect for nothing, and who have won neither material nor spiritual success in their lives. Thorns in a dream also represent pain and sufferings, complexity of matters, sorrows, distress, difficulties, love, injustice, or harm caused by women.
