Practical reading

You may be holding yourself to an impossibly high standard, or you might be worried that a minor detail in a current endeavor could lead to disproportionate criticism. The dream encourages you to balance pursuit of excellence with acceptance of imperfection.

Psychology explanation

This is the manifestation of the Inner Critic. The subconscious is forcing you to integrate the reality that perfection is unattainable. By identifying the flaw in the dream, you are gaining the power to address it in reality.
