The eunuch is a symbol of impotence or castration.
If a woman sees a eunuch, she does not enjoy sex life because of the lack of a worthy sexual partner. Existing partners do not satisfy her.
If a man sees a eunuch, he overestimates his male advantages in real life.
If a man sees himself as a eunuch, he suffers from sexual impotence.
If you see yourself as a eunuch in a harem, you are inclined to engage in masturbation and fear punishment for it, or ridicule. Such a dream indicates the presence of a castration complex, which is often found in young people.
