Pointing Dream Interpretation: Insights from 8 Unique Sources

1- When we dream of someone pointing, normally we are having our attention drawn to a particular object, feeling or even place. We need to take note of both who is pointing it out to us (See People) and equally what they are pointing at. We may feel that we are at the receiving end often pointing can be an aggressive act or accusation and in dreams we may feel that we are being accused of wrongdoing and need to look at the validity of our conduct.
