Nail

(object)

Nails announce little reward after a lot of work. However, if they are new and shiny, it means that the dreamer will have better means to carry out her task. If, on the contrary, they are old, broken, or corroded, then they indicate diseases and poor emotional relationships with others. Working with nails announces participation in a task that will give you great satisfaction; to find them, fulfillment of your desires; and to nail them, murmurings of someone who despises you.

Since the Romans, iron has been considered a sacred metal.

Dreaming of a rusty iron nail augurs good fortune.

Nail

A nail holds or binds objects together that need to be fixed or repaired. To “get nailed” is to get caught at something. Another slang expression, “hit the nail on the head,” may indicate that an accurate appraisal may repair a problem or relationship.

This symbol may be seen as a fingernail or toenail.

If a fingernail is pointing at something, a new direction or viewpoint is being created.

If one stubs a toenail, carelessness may have caught up with the person.
