Dreams about being pulled or restrained often symbolize feelings of being overwhelmed or trapped in a situation. The act of trying to protect someone or something indicates a strong sense of responsibility or a desire to help others, which may be causing you stress or anxiety.

Cutting off your right arm can be a powerful symbol. The right side of the body is often associated with action, logic, and control. By severing your arm, you may be expressing a desire to escape from a burden or a situation that feels too heavy to handle. This could also represent a sacrifice you feel you need to make for the sake of someone else's well-being or your own freedom.

Consider reflecting on your current life circumstances. Are there areas where you feel overwhelmed by responsibilities? Are you making sacrifices that affect your own well-being? This dream may be urging you to find a balance between helping others and taking care of yourself. It could be beneficial to seek support or delegate some of your responsibilities to alleviate the pressure you’re feeling.
