Petrification dream meaning is explained below using 1 different source. Each interpretation is shown with its source.
Interpretation 1 — Martha Clarke
In almost all the mythological stories, petrification is the gods’ punishment for a gaze that has crossed the permissible limit. In this case, the dream is indicative of a guilty conscience. On the other hand, there are occasions when the dreamer tries to react to a violent situation, or simply tries to move, and can’t. These dreams reflect a state of involuntary paralysis that could be physical, emotional, or intellectual.
It is best to analyze the circumstances of your life to discover the cause of this immobility.
