Weekly Q&A: A Nose Ring Torn Out by a Spider Dream?

Recently, I came across a story on a piercing community that caught my attention — someone shared how a dream about a spider ended up causing their nose ring to be torn out.

In the dream, the person saw a big black spider crawling on their face. Without thinking, they tried to swat it away. But it wasn’t just a dream — when they woke up, they felt a sharp pain and discovered their nose ring had been ripped out, leaving a bleeding wound.

This unusual incident reminds us all how vulnerable fresh piercings can be, especially while sleeping. It’s easy to forget that sudden movements can cause serious damage even in sleep.

So what can we learn from this?

• Protect new piercings during sleep by using specialized piercing pillows or guards.
• Avoid sleeping face down or on the side where the piercing is located.
• If you notice any pain or swelling after sleep, check your piercing immediately to avoid infections.
• More directly you can check out my previous posts, just type in your piercing to find the corresponding post, or just check out the nursing posts.

This story might sound unusual, but it’s a great reminder: your body can surprise you in unexpected ways — even in your dreams!
