Personal symbolism
Muscles can make strength, effort, and vulnerability visible in a dream. Well-developed muscles place you in a position to meet opposition and overcome it, while shrunken muscles suggest feeling unable to advance in your affairs. The passage also singles out hardship for a woman in that latter scenario. Consider how your body looked and how you felt about it: capable, strained, exposed, or diminished. The image may reflect how much strength you believe you have available for a current challenge.
Questions to reflect on
