Cutting (holding) nails in a dream

Dreaming of cutting (or trimming) your nails indicates that your affairs will not go as you wish. The dreamer may be greatly disappointed by someone they trusted. Simultaneously, this person may enter a period where they feel uneasy upon hearing that lies are being spread behind their back.

According to some interpretations, seeing your nails being cut in a dream is a bad omen. Seeing beautiful nails in a dream is auspicious. However, cutting these beautiful nails foretells upcoming unfortunate events. Some dream interpreters explain nail cutting in a dream as a positive sign. For them, nails represent debts. Specifically, cutting long nails symbolizes getting rid of debts.
