Islamic Interpretation
In a dream, one's nerves symbolize their demeanor, conduct, and overall presence. Experiencing irritated nerves signifies deep distress and grief, while a severed nerve denotes a shattered life or, for an ill person, impending death. More broadly, a nerve can represent a master or patriarch, devout piety, a witnessing signatory, binding agreements, sustenance, wealth, or family bonds. Any condition affecting the nerves in the dream will manifest as an impact on these corresponding aspects of life. (Also see Body)
