Piercings

Piercing, Nose ring, Pierced ears

Getting pierced means choosing a short, sharp moment of discomfort for something you'd like to wear. In dreams, piercings often deal with self-expression and with changes you make on purpose, even if others don't approve. Where the piercing was adds meaning: an ear relates to listening, the lips or tongue to speech, the nose or brow to how you present yourself. A new piercing you love says you're comfortable standing out. One that closes up, or that you take out, may mark a phase you've moved past.
