Hi, just a warning that this dream I had was a bit gruesome, it involved random wounds appearing on my arms.
I searched the internet and all I could find was what it means when you have someone giving you wounds in your dream(like cutting you with a knife), but thats not what happened in my dream.
I just had these sores/wounds appearing on my arm randomly, they were pretty gross, like if you could imagine the skin decomposing away, or getting acid on your arm or something. The skin would kind of tear away in layers until the muscles were torn too and it was like a hole. I could see into the muscles in my arm. Some of the wounds had weird stuff in them and one had foam come out of it when I looked in it. In my dream I kept looking into them really far until all I saw was the inside of my arm, even though it was gross and I didn't want to. There wasn't any blood or bone at all, just weird muscle and skin and random stuff (like if you could imagine a bunch of bacterial circles that grow in petri dishes but bigger and stuck to the torn muscles)
They didn't hurt (I usually feel pain in dreams but not this time), I felt really worried about them, and I kept showing them to people and they didn't care. I kept asking "is there something wrong with me?" and saying "This isn't good" But no one thought that there was something wrong with having gross wounds appear on your arms.
That's about it, any suggestions as to what this means would be appreciated, I am pretty confused. Also I am a 19 year old female.

Simply put, since your skin is under attack from something that is really destroying your tissues, it likely points at the feeling that there is a lack of protection or more to the point feeling a lack of security, feeling vulnerable.
At your age, this could come from leaving home and setting up your own life whether in college or not and all that comes with it. Perhaps you've been okay with it for a while but the pressures are starting to add up. There is a certain amount of secure feeling in being at home with parents taking care of most of your needs.
Or what other changes or new things have come into your life that could possibly be making you feel vulnerable or scared. Often your subconscious, which is like the inner-child, only has this way to communicate to your conscious self. You may not have been consciously aware of something that could stress you in this way but she is surely aware of it. If the dream doesnt not repeat and you can't figure it out, I wouldn't be concerned. If it repeats, you may want to ask your sub..like talking aloud to yourself and while wide awake, the answers pop directly into your head...at least thats how it works for me.
