Dreaming of Medicine

medicine, drug, medication, pills · mixed

Medicine foretells a trouble that ends up helping you if it tastes pleasant, a longer ordeal if it is foul.

What happens in the dream

  • Giving medicine to someone: a gain, but also a temptation to harm someone who trusts you
  • Pleasant-tasting medicine: a passing trouble that will work out for your good
  • Disgusting medicine: a long illness, deep sorrow or loss
  • Taking medicine: in another tradition, money troubles

How you felt

  • A need to heal: the dream may reflect something in you that needs care
  • Resistance: it may express a hard truth to swallow

Ask yourself

  • Which pill am I struggling to swallow right now?
  • What do I need to feel better?
