Scabs in dreams symbolize unresolved emotional or physical wounds. They represent the healing process of past traumas or conflicts that haven't fully healed yet. The presence of scabs may indicate lingering pain or unresolved issues that need attention and closure. Dreaming about picking at scabs suggests a need to confront and deal with these unresolved matters. Alternatively, scabs could also represent resilience, indicating that you have the ability to overcome difficulties and heal from past experiences.
