Dreaming of Pain

pain, ache, suffering · mixed

Being in pain points to pointless regrets, or, by contrast, good news from someone far away.

What happens in the dream

  • You are in pain: useless regrets over some trivial matter
  • You see others in pain: you are making mistakes in your life
  • Sharp pain from a toothache, headache or elsewhere: glad tidings from someone long absent, the good sign

How you felt

  • Suffering: the dream may reflect real physical or emotional strain
  • Guilt: you may be dwelling on a small mistake

Ask yourself

  • What hurts right now, in my body or my heart?
  • Am I beating myself up over something minor?
