Amputation

This dream can be quite frightening and shows that you have or will encounter some type of loss and that it is important to take action so you can prevent it. When you dream of losing one of your own limbs (arms or legs) it means that you are worried about losing something that is important to you, and you are concerned about something not working out. 
Amputation generally in dreams can signify losing something important in life, worry, loss of control and focus on getting back on track. I am going to say that this dream can be quite traumatic. The term "Amputatio" is the latin noun that means “to cut away” which is where the word amputation comes from. In ancient times many people cut off the hands of various criminals, historically, amputation was also associated with amputated the head especially in the 1600s. Dismembring a body or cutting away at limbs in dreams can be considered a nightmare, so I am sorry you have had this dream. In dreams of this kind you could see the nose, ear, genitalia, breasts, legs, fingers or toes removed. There is a general feeling of horror when this crops up in our dreams.  But what does it mean for the dream psychology perspective? After reading many different books about amputation from a dream psychology perspective,  it is clear that this dream indicates that you are adopting a lot of power.
