Example: A woman dreamed of needing to keep acupuncture needles in her face longer than she wanted to. In waking life, she was experiencing relationship issues involving financial savings and her future. In this case, the acupuncture needles in her face may have reflected her feelings of enduring discomfort or taking drastic measures financially that might look dangerous to her boyfriend in order to maintain or restore balance in her relationship and financial situation.

Acupuncture is a form of treatment that involves inserting very thin needles through a person’s skin at specific points on the body, to various depths. The location of where the needle is in your body acts as a metaphor for where you are getting relief from. The ancient Chinese believed in his holistic healing as it circulates a free flow of Chi energy and removes blockages.
