Leprosy Dream Meaning

Dreaming of leprosy, or seeing its signs on your own body, is usually tied to a deep fear of being shut out by society and of feeling unworthy. The marks on the skin are really a picture of some side of yourself that you want to hide from other people's eyes.

• Sores on your own body

  This grows out of a shame you have kept pressed down for a long time. You fear that a mistake or weakness of yours will be exposed to others.

• Someone else with leprosy

  Sympathy for that person has found a place in your heart. At other times, the dream shows a wish to keep your distance from them.

• Being cast out by society

  A scene of being cut off from family and the people you know shows that a fear of loneliness or rejection has settled deep in your mind.

• Being cured, or the marks fading

  This is a hopeful sign. You have begun to get past the shame you felt about yourself.

Dreams like this say more about how you see yourself than about your body. You are usually far more worthy than you feel.
