Dreaming of Illness

illness, ailment · mostly negative

Dreaming that you are ill mostly points to letdowns: a missed pleasure, being cheated, or promises that won't be kept.

What happens in the dream

  • You are bedridden: someone may get the better of you in a deal or cheat you
  • You are ill: something unexpected will make you miss a visit or event you were looking forward to, and you'll take it hard
  • If you are in love: be wary of vows that sound too good, as they may be false

How you felt

  • Tiredness or worry: the dream may reflect a need for rest you haven't allowed yourself
  • Feeling vulnerable: you may fear being caught off guard or taken advantage of

Ask yourself

  • Am I running myself down without admitting it?
  • Is there someone whose sincerity I doubt?
