Handicap

To dream that you or someone is handicapped, symbolizes your own weakness and neediness. You are confronted with many challenges and need to utilize your full potential. Consider which part of your body is handicapped and its symbolism.
Alternatively, it suggests that you are becoming too arrogant for your own good. You need to be more humble.
