Fingernails according to the dream book
Home / Dream Interpretation / …
Fingernails in a dream represent a person’s state of affairs, the situation at work and the financial sphere. To understand why you dream about such a picture, you should carefully remember your dream, from your own actions and feelings, down to the smallest details, combine what you saw into one semantic image and look at the meaning in the dream book.
Some dream books ambiguously interpret what a dream about nails means. According to Miller's Dream Book, seeing fingernails in a dream means unprofitable cooperation. A person will receive a disproportionately small reward for his efforts. Getting your nails in order is interpreted as a noble and prestigious job that will bring in a meager income.
An esoteric dream book interprets a similar picture as imminent tests in real life. Long nails in a dream symbolize a long and very difficult period of testing, short or broken ones symbolize the end of life’s difficulties, dirty or ugly - the emergence of unpleasant situations along the way, from which you need to get out with your head held high. An independent and meaningful choice by a person of a difficult path, strewn with trials, is what dreams of cutting fingernails mean.
To find out why you dream of seeing nails on someone else’s hands, you should evaluate the appearance and condition of the nails. If the nail plate in a dream is dotted with white lines or dots, the dream book speaks of an unkind and envious attitude towards a person on the part of the people around him, or the specific person in the dream. Long and terrible - personify the negative actions of persons towards the dreamer; intrigues and conspiracies against the sleeping person are possible. Lack of job prospects due to someone else’s interference—that’s why you dream about broken fingernails.
To see in a dream how a child carefully cleans and trims his fingernails, Aesop’s dream book promises a meeting with a person who will leave an indelible impression on himself. This dream also indicates a person’s panache and narcissism, which will be very difficult to overcome.
Appearance and condition of fingernails
To understand what this dream means, you should carefully remember the state of the nail plates in the dream, their color and appearance.
Why dream of a broken fingernail? Such a dream means that what the dreamer thinks is an insignificant incident or conflict can provoke big troubles in the future. It is worth monitoring your emotions and words in the near future, avoiding harsh and rude statements towards others.
Beautiful, smooth and well-groomed nails on the hands in a dream indicate in the dream book a possible promotion or change of job. However, in most cases, wages will be small, and only after some time will they change upward.
Unpleasant clashes in the team, squabbles and showdowns that will be resolved very difficult and painfully, this is what dirty fingernails mean in dreams. This vision also speaks of the dreamer’s indecent behavior, which should be reviewed and tried to be changed. In some cases, such a picture foreshadows gossip and intrigues of envious people, which become significantly more active in real life.
For businessmen, seeing long fingernails in a dream, the dream book foretells high profits in real life. At this time, it is worth activating your full potential, expanding your scope of activity and acquiring new partners.
Girls who see long, well-groomed and beautiful marigolds in a dream, according to the dream book, are promised good luck in love affairs. For unmarried young ladies, this image portends an imminent marriage proposal, for married ladies - peace, harmony and prosperity in the family.
A short nail plate on the hands in a dream, according to the dream book, speaks of the dreamer’s limited capabilities and his reluctance to change his life for the better. A person’s excessive vanity prevents him from concentrating on his true goals and desires. The dream book advises you to take a little break from your work somewhere outside the city, in nature, recharge yourself with positivity and put your thoughts in order.
Red fingernails in a dream indicate the dreamer’s imminent reconciliation with his relatives and close friends, which can restore the moral balance of the sleeping person. A black nail plate means that soon a person will have to seriously fight, defending his own honor and dignity. The dreamer will be accused of something he never did, expressing serious doubts about his morality and sincerity.
Actions of a sleeping person aimed at the marigolds
Taking measures and decisive steps in relation to the situation that has arisen is what you dream about painting your fingernails. Yellow varnish indicates the vile thoughts of a sleeping person, green - personifies vitality and beauty; perhaps the dreamer will take decisive steps to change his daily routine, eating habits and attitude towards life.
Why do you dream of cutting your fingernails? Most dream books interpret such a vision as conflicts and quarrels with colleagues or among family members. For a girl, such a picture means that soon the dreamer will have to be separated from her family for a short time. For a man, this vision is a hint that one should not count on the support of friends and loved ones, since they will be powerless against the situation that has arisen.
People who had to break their fingernails in a dream are warned by the dream book about a possible illness. For businessmen, such a picture predicts problems in business.
If in a dream you happen to cut another person’s fingernails, it means, according to the dream book, strangers will experience strong negative emotions towards the dreamer. Such a dream indicates that you should pay attention to your manner of conversation and behavior in society, and try to eliminate all shortcomings in the near future.
If a large fingernail falls off in a dream, it means that in real life a person will soon experience remorse and incredible confusion about his ignoble or impartial behavior towards loved ones.
If a girl or woman dreamed that someone was painting her nails, it means, as the dream book assures, that in reality a person will soon appear who can take over her mind, heart and feelings and become a worthy life partner. However, if in a dream the young lady immediately removes the varnish, then the young man will turn out to be a liar and a deceiver.
Manicure and pedicure
To correctly interpret a dream about nails, be sure to check whether you had a manicure or pedicure. At the subconscious level, the lower limbs are associated with health conditions and subtle difficulties in love and career.
If you dreamed of getting a neat manicure and painting your nails without blemishes, expect improvements on the personal front soon, and stability will come in the financial sphere.
When in a dream you apply varnish to the nail plates affected by fungus on your toes, you have to expect difficulties and obstacles in your work, but in the end you will cope and the suffering will turn into benefit.
If a loved one gave you a pedicure, in reality he will demonstrate his readiness to obey in everything. Dreaming of a pedicure from your sworn enemy will lead to resounding success. A professional pedicure predicts a respectful attitude from colleagues.
Why do you dream about fingernails?
Well-groomed, beautiful nails immediately attract attention, as do carelessly processed nails. Nails reflect a person’s state of health and his energy; in a mystical understanding, the quality of the nail plates can influence fate. Why do you dream about fingernails, what does this image portend? Let's look at it in detail together with the dream books.
Symbolism of nails in a dream
Nails are one of the important organs of the body, without which it cannot be healthy. Since ancient times, nails have been involved in magical rituals of influencing people, so they were taken care of and buried in the ground after cutting.
To interpret the dream, you need to remember all the details of the storyline:
- whose nails did you see;
- type and shape of nails;
- long/short nails;
- clean your nails;
- varnish;
- cut your nails.
If you have seen your own fingernails, you will soon have responsible work with a good reward. Clean, well-groomed nail plates will tell you about complete contentment with fate and good health.
Peeling nail plates are considered a bad sign - the dreamer has a rival (or rival), and there will be a difficult struggle for the right to be with a loved one. Sick nails directly indicate the dreamer’s state of health.
If you dream that you are clinging to your nails or digging into something, in reality you will have a stubborn struggle to achieve a result. The result of this struggle will be well-deserved authority, respect and material profit.
Nail quality
There are terrible dreams in which animal claws grow instead of human nails. This image reflects the dreamer’s internal state, his cruelty towards loved ones. It is worth thinking about the qualities of your character: do not inflict emotional wounds on dear people.
Moderately long nails with or without a neat manicure are considered a symbol of well-being. What do straight-cut short nails mean? This image carries a positive meaning - peace, prosperity, spiritual harmony. However, there is also a negative connotation - you are too soft a person and will not be able to stand up for yourself in an extraordinary situation.
If in a dream you had a chance to cut your nails and take care of your hands, in reality you will have to get rid of unnecessary things in life - a boring situation, clingy friends, a boring job or negative traits of your own character.
Painting your nails in a dream, getting your manicure in order - in reality you will have to do a noble deed that will bring benefit to others and joy to yourself. If you refuse the proposed business, you will lose a lot in life. For unmarried girls, painting your nails with varnish promises a quick acquaintance with a romantic young man.
Long and short
For girls, long beautiful nails have a positive meaning - they are about to meet an interesting young man. If there is already a young man, the dream foreshadows an imminent engagement. For married women, the dream promises family harmony and prosperity. For men, the dream predicts financial profit.
Short-cut nails indicate a reluctance to include anything in your lifestyle. Fear of change fetters the dreamer from the inside and slows down development. Biting your nails in a dream means missed opportunities.
Breaking your own nails is going the wrong way. You yourself have chosen a difficult path to achieve your desired goal, which has many obstacles. Look around - you will see other paths to your goal that have no obstacles.
Dirty or deformed nails
Sloppy nails make a repulsive impression; you don’t want to have anything in common with such a person. In a dream, this image warns of a tense atmosphere among employees at work; prepare for gossip and scandals in the team.
Dirty nails can symbolize envious people and enemies who seek to harm the dreamer. Sometimes an image can also indicate the personal qualities of the dreamer: you should think carefully about your behavior among people.
A falling off nail predicts a break in a long-term relationship - love or friendship. This dream warns in advance about an unpleasant event so that you can make every effort to prevent an unnecessary situation.
Seeing other people's nails
If in a vision you dreamed of beautiful nails with or without a manicure, the image prophesies well-being and health in the dreamer’s life. Long nails with a glossy manicure predict unexpected good news that will surprise you.
Ugly, dirty nails with peeling or broken manicure are a sign of trouble and even disaster. However, we must remember that a dream simply warns, and does not state facts. Therefore, any state of affairs can be changed or their negative impact can be weakened.
Dirty nails on someone else's hands can warn of an unscrupulous person in your environment who is waiting for the right moment. Carefully analyze all your relationships with your inner circle to get to know this person.
Finding someone else's cut nails in an unexpected place means you have to find out someone's secret. Whatever you find out, treat this person’s secret with sensitivity - do not spread the news among your friends.

Varnish color
An important role in interpreting the vision is played by the color of the varnish that had to be used to decorate the nails during the night dreams. If in a dream you had to paint your fingernails in red shades, such a plot should be considered a symbol of reconciliation with loved ones and long-awaited peace in relationships with your soulmate.
- Delicate and pastel - to a favorable outcome of the event, which is now of the greatest importance to the dreamer. A dream with such a detail also means that a person should not worry so much about this matter.
- Bright or acidic marigolds symbolize a person’s fear of social condemnation. Because of this, he may not fulfill some desires, which causes him suffering. You should reconsider your attitude towards public opinion and go towards your goals, while maintaining some caution so as not to disgrace yourself in public.
- Black is a warning sign. This color is the personification of the dreamer’s gloomy and sad thoughts, which haunt a person even during a night’s rest. If you don't try to overcome them, a person may become depressed.
- Blue or blue - to fun, which will cause the happy fulfillment of the plans of the one who had the dream.
- Brown or coffee - to big trouble. Most likely, they will be associated with the dreamer's family.
- Yellow or ocher colors are a symbol of envy. Perhaps the dreamer caused her by successfully resolving his own affairs. Those people who experience envy may try to prevent the successful completion of what they started.
- Gold symbolizes optimism and self-confidence. Thanks to these qualities, the dreamer will be able to emerge victorious in a long and difficult struggle.
- White - to a risky business, from which you can get huge profits or losses. The outcome of this event depends on what feelings the dreamer experienced. If anxiety and doubt prevailed, then you should not get involved in this venture. If in a dream a person was calm and did not feel fear, the result will be good.
- Green shades of varnish represent hope and success in the financial sector. A similar color can also indicate an imminent visit from people from afar or an unexpected trip by the dreamer.
