Dreaming of Disease

disease, ailment · mixed, sometimes by contraries

Being ill in a dream points to a minor health or family trouble, though some readings see luck and work instead.

What happens in the dream

  • You have a contagious disease: luck and benefit, since this dream goes by contraries
  • You have an incurable disease: you may stay single
  • You have any disease at all: prompt, steady employment
  • You're diseased: a slight illness, or unpleasant dealings with a relative

How you felt

  • Worry about your body: the dream may reflect tiredness you've been ignoring
  • A sense of fragility: perhaps a need to slow down and take care of yourself

Ask yourself

  • Am I listening to what my body tells me?
  • What is wearing me out right now?
