Dreaming of Dropsy

dropsy, oedema, water retention · mixed, ending well

Suffering from dropsy in a dream points to a passing illness you'll recover from with new strength.

What happens in the dream

  • You see others with it: news from absent friends, who are in good health
  • You suffer from dropsy: illness for a while, then recovery with renewed vigor

How you felt

  • Feeling overfull: the dream often reflects emotions or tasks building up
  • Hope: perhaps confidence that you'll bounce back

Ask yourself

  • What am I holding in that needs to come out?
  • Who would I like to hear from?
