Dreaming of Sores

sores, lesions, ulcers, wounds · mostly negative, with one happy exception

Sores foretell illness and worry, except blotches on the body, which promise a fortune.

What happens in the dream

  • You dress a sore: you will put others' pleasure before your own wishes
  • Your body is covered in blotches: a great fortune, the happy sign
  • You see sores: illness will cost you money and peace of mind
  • An infant has a deep sore: distressing incidents will upset your plans
  • You have sores yourself: fragile health and poor business
  • Your arms are full of sores: business failure

How you felt

  • Vulnerability: the dream may reflect a wound that hasn't healed
  • Devotion: it can mean you care for others at your own expense

Ask yourself

  • Which hurt have I been neglecting?
  • Do I look after others more than myself?
