I Dream Of Nosebleeds, Aww dammit! I just had this thing washed!! Options

A common recurring theme for the past 3 nights in a row is a dream segment where I have some sort of profuse nose bleeding. Most of the time, I suddenly find myself in a white karate gi, and my nose is bleeding red all over it. In the dream, I wasn't suited up for fighting or practice, I was just wearing a white gi. Out of nowhere... nosebleed. All over.

There are a few guesses I can make, for one, I associate the karate gi with the idea of effort or work. But then again, this is my wakeful assumption talking. If that's the case, what does bleeding from the nose all over it entail?

I am open to all sorts of interpretations. I am looking for the one that makes the most sense. Thank you.

I suppose my first knee jerk reaction is that a nose bleed symbolizes being exposed, hurt or wounded. If you are bleeding from the nose its something that everyone will be able to see. Maybe you are afraid people will see that you are hurt in some fashion (be it literally physical or more psychological). But a nose bleed could certainly represent other things too. Perhaps you have been over exerting yourself or pushing yourself too hard.
