Sweat Dream Meaning

Seeing sweat in a dream, or being drenched in it, is usually a physical expression of hard work or mental pressure. Just as your body sweats during hard work or anxiety when you are awake, your mind gives the same feeling this shape in sleep, especially when something is putting you under heavy inner pressure. The meaning depends on the situation in which you are sweating.

• Sweating after hard work or running

  In waking life too you are putting steady effort into a goal, and that effort is needed before the results come.

• Waking up in a sweat from fear

  This often points to a situation where the pressure of an exam, an interview or an important decision weighs heavily on your mind.

• Being soaked in sweat in front of others

  This is tied to a fear of public embarrassment or of looking weak.

Just as sweat lets extra heat out of the body, sweat in a dream often hints that pressure built up in your mind is slowly being released. Once the hard time has passed, body and mind both feel lighter, and this dream is part of that process.
