To dream of seeing your fingers soiled or scratched, with the blood exuding, denotes much trouble and suffering. You will despair of making your way through life. To see beautiful hands, with white fingers, denotes that your love will be requited and that you will become renowned for your benevolence. To dream that your fingers are cut clean off, you will lose wealth and a legacy by the intervention of enemies.
