Dead Knee in dreams
The hinge that lets you walk, kneel, and bear weight — the joint of going on or going down.
How dead changes the reading
Dead in the dream means the symbol's energy is no longer in active circulation in your life. The reading is not necessarily grim — most often it is the dream noting that something you had been carrying has run its full course and you can stop carrying it.
The base reading of Knee
A knee in a dream is the dream's image of the joint that decides whether you keep walking, kneel, or fall. Knees carry weight and absorb stress; they are also the first thing to give out under bad load over time. The dream brings the knee when the question of how much further your current pace can be sustained is alive. A strong, moving knee is the dream telling you the walking can continue. A knee giving way, or a knee already on the ground, is the dream noting that the load has finally reached the joint and the upright movement is no longer available.
