Cripple dream meaning is explained below using 10 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — Klaus Vollmar

Emotional or mental handicap. In this dream an important part of the shadow is expressed: your own weakness and neediness, for example. This dream symbol often appears when you are feeling overly important and are tending toward arrogance. Often it is a challenge to become more responsible, compassionate, and helpful. In addition, the image of the cripple is also related to Beggar, which may point either to becoming more humble or to greed and a hunger for possessions.

See Illness, Crutch.

Folklore: Warning of being unfriendly.

Interpretation 2 — Garuda

Vision: Seeing or being a cripple: you have a lot of work to do on yourself before you will be “healthy” (emotionally and morally). However, the dream also indicates that help is on the way! Taking care of a cripple: you are caring for and feeling bad about an unhappy person.

See Invalid.

Depth Psychology: The cripple represents the compassion you have for other people. It also is an indication of how much you depend on other people, or that you are in need of help.

Interpretation 4 — Stearn Robinson - Tom Corbett

You can expect an appeal for help from a relative or associate if your dream featured a handicapped person or persons.

You would be well advised to give the assistance, as it will eventually turn out to be bread on the water.

If the dream involved being crippled yourself, you can rely on getting whatever help you may be needing.
