Dreaming of elbows mean protective weapons at your disposal. When you fold your hands across your chest and extend both elbows, you defenses are at its peak and no one will find you approachable. This can mean that your ability to advance is capped by your unwillingness to share and be accommodating to you peers.
Your elbows are sharp and hard. They are the opposite of your soft, delicate hands and gentle body. They symbolize something that is aggressive, not caring, unapologetic and ready to defend itself if needed.
Your elbow in your dream represents how you feel about yourself. It could mean that you need more self-defense training because you feel like someone will try to attack you or it can also be a symbol of how you’re looking for signs of rejection. Your dream could also be trying to tell you that someone’s pushy or too forceful with their words or actions in real life which makes it difficult for them to soften their personality enough for others to accept them.
