Nails falling off in a dream marks a time when the things that hold your world in place are loosening. This loosening happens because the surface you have relied on for defense or stability is no longer suited to the life you are living.
You feel the sting of a shield being removed from your reach. I have watched my own hands grow unsteady when the old ways of holding on no longer worked. Even when the separation is not violent, it leaves the underlying part of you exposed to the air.
The old surface gives way to show the real thing beneath. You are finding a way to let go of what does not belong to your true self. There is a lightness in the way you are finally uncovering your own base, dear.
Fake nails coming off in a dream shows that a borrowed strength is being set aside. Because these were not part of your own growth, their departure is a necessary clearing of what is false.
Losing a nail or nails in a dream means your natural protection is being pulled away. If the loss comes with a sudden sting, it brings a heavy sense of being unprotected.
Fingernails peeling off in a dream shows how an old skin is being cast aside. This happens in a way that feels like a fresh start, where the surface simply gives way to let something new emerge.
Your old ways of guarding yourself drop away when you see fingernails falling off in a dream. You step into the light without needing to hold up a shield.

Benedita LumeInterpreter interprets your dreams
Well, dear, the old houses never treated a dream as a stranger at the door. A dream was given a chair at the table like a cousin from far away. Most of what it carries is a warm sign about the life already around you, and even a hard one is usually a reminder about something small at home. Rest easy. The house is still standing.
