Blood is life force, family, passion and sacrifice. In dreams it shows where your energy is flowing out, or where a strong bond is being made.
When the dream feels light
Blood in a ritual or bond speaks of kinship, passion and vitality.
When the dream feels dark
Bleeding or losing blood points to exhaustion, emotional wounds or a loss of energy.
Ask yourself
Where is my life force flowing out?

The card of this dream
Death. An ending that clears the ground for what must be born. Death rides a white horse beneath a black banner with a white rose; kings fall, while the sun rises between two towers. It is rarely physical death: it is an end that clears the way, a transformation, a door that closes so another can open.
