Arms

Arm, Open arms, Strong arms

Arms are how you reach out, hold on, carry and protect. If yours stood out in a dream, the theme is likely your ability to help others, to embrace what you love or to take on work and responsibility. Strong arms suggest confidence and capability. Open arms mean welcome and acceptance. Weak or tired arms can be a sign you've been carrying too much. Being held in someone's arms brings comfort and a longing for closeness.
