Impale – To dream of being impaled is a sign that you are afraid of letting someone or something in to your situation or your psychological space. This is a dream symbol that indicates a deep sense of threat and anxiety. There may be something harmful within yourself that needs to be lanced and exposed in order to allow you to heal, though this is also a frightening prospect. The fear that you will be hurt by letting someone in is reasonable; however, how will you grow if you do not open yourself up to the possibility of being hurt sometimes? Notice the part of your body that you dream about being impaled; this is also symbolic and gives insight into the particular meaning of this symbol for you.
