To dream that you are crawling on the ground, and hurt your hand, you may expect humiliating tasks to be placed on you.
To crawl over rough places and stones, indicates that you have not taken proper advantage of your opportunities. A young woman, after dreaming of crawling, if not very careful of her conduct, will lose the respect of her lover.
To crawl in mire with others, denotes depression in business and loss of credit. Your friends will have cause to censure you.
