Your body presents the image that you have in your mind about yourself. This image includes your mental state and your physical wellbeing also.
This also encompasses the various aspects of your personality. When you dream of a body part, various conditions of your mind may get expressed albeit often in an exaggerated manner.
For example, if you see a broken body part it may represent your damaged ego or say morale or perhaps you have lost the capability of standing up for yourself; if you see a dead body it may denote that a certain emotion in you is lost forever – it may be your sensuality or your “self pride” or any other such feelings.
