Blood
Blood in dreams often signals anxiety about vitality — whether physical health, creative energy, or relationships that feel threatened or draining. Sometimes the dream asks which part of your life is losing force, and sometimes it wonders what fear of loss is colouring your days more vividly than the loss itself.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for blood, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
Blood-stained garments, indicate enemies who seek to tear down a successful career that is opening up before you.
The dreamer should beware of strange friendships.
To see blood flowing from a wound, physical ailments and worry. Bad business caused from disastrous dealings with foreign combines.
To see blood on your hands, immediate bad luck, if not careful of your person and your own affairs.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream you vomit blood, is good for him that is poor, for he shall soon get a sum of money. It is also very good for him that has no children, and whose kindred are in a strange country; the first shall see a child of his own; the other will hear favorable news of his kindred, or see them returning home.
