Nail

This small object has an interesting symbolism in human dreams, because it can mean both the positive processes of creation as well as suffering.

The detailed meaning of the dream:

• If the dreamer uses nails to build or connect something into one, then the dream promises creative time in their lives, the successful shaping of the future. A dream about hammering a nail may also relate to the attempt to repair some relations.
• Rusty nails indicate that the failure in business awaits you.
• Trading nails reflects the low paid and exhausting work. It is worth considering the work for your current employer, whether it is the peak of your abilities.
• Pulling a nail symbolizes indecisiveness, or change of heart.
• Straightening the nail may suggest that you are too frugal and petty.
• All the nightmares, in which the nail causes you pain (e.g. a nail piercing the hand) should be considered in the category of warning against danger, suffering and emotional problems.
• The nail is a phallic symbol, so it can represent the penis. Following this path, sometimes dreams of hammering the nail symbolize sexual intercourse.
• The nail may appear in a dream in the context of such sayings as "to drive the final nail into somebody’s coffin". These motifs will mean that soon you may hurt a person.
