Leech

Interpretation

Leeches latch on where boundaries leak. Dreaming of them warns that someone or something may be siphoning resources—time, money, or emotional bandwidth. The symbol urges swift action: examine debts, renegotiate obligations, and fortify energetic shields.

Common Meanings

• Leech attached to skin: Identifying exploitative relationships, predatory lending, or habits that leave you depleted
• Removing a leech: Reclaiming autonomy, setting firm boundaries, or ending unhealthy contracts
• Watching leeches in water: Spotting potential threats before they attach, practicing caution in new ventures

Cultural Context

Historically used in medicine, leeches remind us that even purposeful extraction must be managed carefully. The dream adapts this legacy to modern concerns about financial and emotional safety.
