The core meaning

What does this dream mean?

A scar records healing after injury; a map suggests direction. The transformation may reflect using experience to navigate wisely while deciding how much authority the past should have over the future.

The symbol alone is only one part of the dream. Its behaviour, condition, location, your reaction and what happened immediately before and after it can change the interpretation. Your own association is more useful than a universal prediction.
