Body parts and senses
Hands, feet, ears, teeth, appearance and the conditions of seeing or finding your way.

Follow the body part through the activity you remember. Hand explores doing, holding and chosen contact; Feet follows surfaces, pace and the conditions of movement. Ears distinguishes messages, noise and the form of an exchange. Their details can matter without turning bodily appearance into a code for character, ability or fortune.
Teeth follows eating, speech, appearance and ordinary care; Teeth falling out follows loosening, crumbling and loss. Hair and Hair falling out similarly keep appearance and a particular change distinct. Eyes follows looking and what can be seen, while Blindness explores access, orientation and whether support includes a preference. A blind character can have any ordinary role in the dream, rather than serving as a judgment about knowledge or worth.
Numbness and Pain bring absent feedback and an interruption into focus; the separate body-sensations collection covers related felt experiences. The linked guide separates a remembered scene from waking observations and later explanations. These are selected original reflections, with whole historical accounts kept under their actual sources. A dreamed bodily change does not establish a health condition or predict an event.
