Bleeding
Bleeding in a dream is vitality draining away, and the old books read it gravely — fortune turning, losses, malicious reports. The dream tends to touch a felt loss of strength or standing, the sense of something vital ebbing out of us, and to ask where we feel ourselves being slowly drained.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for bleeding, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of bleeding, denotes death by horrible accidents and malicious reports about you. Fortune will turn against you.
Fontaine, 1862
(See Fingers.) To dream of bleeding at the nose signifies loss of goods, and decay of riches; to a young girl it foretells the loss of her lover.
