Illness Dream Meaning

Dreaming that you are ill usually points to tiredness in your mind rather than your body. When daily pressure, words you have not said, or a need you keep ignoring goes past its limit, it shows up in sleep as sickness, as if your body itself is asking you to stop.

• A fever that leaves you weak

  You are short on rest somewhere in your life. You need to set aside some time to look after yourself.

• Pain in one part of the body

  The place that hurts can be read as a symbol. A sore throat points to a feeling you cannot bring yourself to say out loud, and chest pain points to sorrow you have kept pressed down.

• Someone close to you falling ill

  This is a form of the real worry you carry about that person, or a sign of some uncertainty you feel about the relationship.

• Recovering from an illness

  This is a hopeful dream. You are putting a hard stretch behind you, and it is time to start again with fresh energy.

An illness dream is your mind speaking in the language of the body. If you slow down and give yourself a little attention, a lot of things start to feel easier.
