Dirty fingernails suggest a fraying of the boundaries you use to hold your place in the world. This dream may point to a sense that your capacity for self-protection is becoming compromised by the very tools you rely on to navigate your environment. When the means of your defense become stained, it suggests that the way you assert yourself has become tangled with the debris of your recent experiences.
The grit under your nails might show how the struggle to keep your footing is mixing your inner resolve with the dust of the path you walk. This buildup of grime can mean that your attempts to grasp what you need are leaving you feeling less certain and more worn. You may find that the mechanisms you use to push back against the world are no longer as clean or as effective as they once were. There is a possibility that your methods of survival are beginning to cost you your sense of clarity. Your strength is currently caught in the very sediment you are trying to move through.
For its more general meaning: Dream about nails
I was lying on my bed sulking. My father came to comfort me. He then said I should clean my fingernails because they had dirt under them. I told him that I didn’t like him telling me that (in my mind I was thinking I was annoyed at his constant criticism) .
